Every day we look at things large and small short and tall,
which of these things speak most of all.
Planets and galaxies, universes and atoms,
Biblical verses and mistakes that were Adams.
So many things, so many things,
the best place to look is where nature sings.
Sunny skies filled with delight,
shooting stars on a moon lit night.
Water trickling warmly downstream,
children slumbering in a pleasant dream.
Bees a-buzzin', flowers in bloom,
fall leaves in their beautiful plume.
It's time for mankind to pull up their pants,
and quit looking at elephants and observe the ants.
Stanley Victor Paskavich/Stantasyland
