Say “Yes” to Today (revised)

Phyllis Weeks Rogers, ,

Why would the brook
bother to run
if you’re not there
to see it?

If the mockingbird
sang 100 songs
who’s going to
listen to it?

Would the ground doves
stay on a wire
all day, and not
fly down for seed?

Would the day lilies,
with only one day,
believe their beauty
was wasted?

Healing lies in nature.
It’s nurturing for the soul.
We are all God’s creatures.
Or have we forgotten?

I'm a married retired nurse living on beautiful Lake Palestine in the East Texas piney woods. I seek to deepen my walk with the Lord daily. I have 4 dogs, a pair of Mandarin ducks, and 20 Ringed Teals. They are all a source of great pleasure. I love growing vegetables, fruits and floral. I spent the first 26 years of my life in the Houston area. The concrete and traffic took its toll and I moved to East Texas and have lived a rural existence since. I have always written as a means of expression throughout my life since I was in elementary school. It is something I've always had to do. My brain just works that way. It travels all the time, by land or sea or air it's always traveling.
