YOU HELD MY HAND SO TIGHTLY
AS WE STROLLED ALONG
YOU TAUGHT ME HOW TO LISTEN
TO ALL OF NATURES SONGS
EACH LITTLE BIRD THAT WARBLED
AND SANG ITS OWN REFINE
DID PRAISE YOUR VERY BEING
WITHIN EACH NOTE IT CLAIMED
THE INSECTS ALL AROUND YOU
DID DANCE AND DANCE WITH GLEE
TO THINK THAT ONE SO PRECIOUS
WOULD CAST HIS EYES ON THEE
THE MOUNTAINS SPREAD THEIR BEAUTY
IN EVER CHANGING SHADE
AS THROUGH THE HILLS WE WANDERED
BY STREAM AND LEAFY GLADE
THE VIEWS THEY LEFT ME BREATHLESS
SO I WOULD STAND AND STARE
WHILE GATHERED ALL AROUND US
EACH LIVING THING WAS THERE
YOU TAUGHT MY EYES TO SEE THINGS
ONCE HIDDEN FROM MY SIGHT
SO THANK YOU MY SWEET FRANCIS
FOR SHOWING ME NATURES LIGHT

Thought to Ponder- Lord, grant that I might not so much seek to be loved as to love.Francis of Assisi
