I Will Not Hurry

(18” x 24” x 1.5” Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas. Ready to hang.)

I will not hurry through this day!

Lord, I will listen by the way,

To humming bees and singing birds,

To speaking trees and friendly words;

And for the moments in between

Seek glimpses of Thy great Unseen.

I will not hurry through this day;

I will take time to think and pray;

I will look up into the sky,

Where fleecy clouds and swallows fly;

And somewhere in the day, maybe

I will catch whispers, Lord from Thee!
