And a meadowlark sang,
but the child did not hear.
So the child yelled, "Great Spirit, speak to me"
And the thunder rolled across the sky,
But the child didn't listen.
The child looked around and said,
"Great Spirit, let me see you"
And a star shone brightly,
but the child did not notice.
And the child shouted,
"Great Spirit, show me a miracle"
And a life was born,
but the child did not know.
So the child cried out in despair
"Touch me Great Spirit, and let me know
that you are here"
Whereupon God reached down and touched the child.
But the child brushed the butterfly away
and walked away unknowingly.
Often times the things we see
are right under our noses.
Don't miss out on your blessings
because it isn't packaged the way you expect.
