Stop and listen
Hear the sound
New life teeming
All around
Look at the fields
The sky, the earth
All so lovely
Full of rebirth
Listen to the ocean
And the stoic geese
Notice the beauty
Find your inner peace
See the world
Through brand new eyes
What you observe
Might be a surprise
Stop for a moment
Catch your breath
Plenty to live for
Before life meets death
