This Moment

Sitting in my room
As the presence of now unfolds
I see eternity all around me
And God in all I behold.

I love each precious child
That crossed my path today -
Each bird, each squirrel,
Each cat, each dog -
I met along the way.

Each precious moment in the now -
Never again to be the same -
I witness God in all I saw
The trees, the sky, the rain.

I witness God in the wildflowers
That grow along the road
The honking geese as they fly by -
The pond, the rocks, a toad.

To spend the day with the Lord
Is just to be aware
Of everything the moment brings
In silent love and prayer.
