At a Second Glance


As I walk through the meadow, I look at the sky. I ponder some questions, and ask myself why: It is so little, that ever I take: A moment to wonder; a second to think About all this beauty with which I’m surround’ That’s on all this Earth to which I am bound. And if only we spared a second a glance Then surely we’d held in a trance. And in my hope I admit I’m naïve To think if we did- then surely we’d see- That this one world is all that we’ve got, And to waste it away is most foolish a thought.
