Can You?

Can you hear the gentle murmur
Of the brook as it glides by
Or see the stunning colours
Of the rainbow in the sky

Can you catch the scent of roses
In the warm and gentle breeze
As it tickles through the garden
In which songbirds find their ease.

In these miracles of life do
You find solace and relief
From the fractious life around you
And the seeming endless grief

Or will darkness drag you under
As you submit to despair
And allow your heart to stutter
And your lungs to want for air

Let your soul be drawn to beauty
See the wonders of the world
Even in the smallest corner
Theres a story to be told

Of how love can build a mountain
Of how hope can write a song
So that through the worst of moments
You can come through proud and strong
