What If God Forgot?

Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)

Rhymed
What would we do if God forgot
To make the flowers grow?
We'd have less beauty and would not
Enjoy things Spring can show!

What would we do if God forgot
The sounds of nature near?
We'd miss the songs that mean a lot,
Like birds and wind we hear.

I'm glad that God does not forget
The simple treasures we
Are blessed to have each day and yet,
So few enjoy for free.
