I could make a list and it would be long
of all the great things that really are free.
Most of these things are just taken for granted
in our search for happiness and liberty.
I wouldn't know what to have first on the list.
Could it be the beautiful hummingbird in flight?
Or maybe the darkest night when we can see all the stars
shining bright?
The butterfly on a butterfly bush.
The golden finch at the first light of dawn.
Even the frost glistening in the moonlight
like diamonds on the lawn.
There's the soft gurgling of a bubbling brook
or the awesome rush of a waterfall.
There are so many things in God's wonderfull world
that cost no money at all.
Open your eyes to all the beauty around you.
So many interesting things to see.
You may look out your window and see a bunny frollicking or
a flower providing nectar for a honey bee.
These all are things of nature, you say,but they
were all part of a master plan.
Each one designed for our enjoyment.
It all started with The Master's command.
