Outside Your Front Door

by Roger Elliott

See the world...
outside your front door
Anything can happen,
when you close your eyes
...open your heart
open up to the world,
...the world outside
outside your front door
Slow things down,
don't move so fast,
look around...
...don't look past
...the world outside,
outside your front door
Ants a crawling...
birds a calling...
Flowers are blooming,
trees are swaying...
swaying to a song...
singing a song...
outside your front door
So much life hidden,
...hidden from your eyes
open your heart,
so you can see
Listen to the buzz...
of a bumble bee
Watch the birds,
as the build a nest,
...piece by piece,
making a home...
...without rest
So much life,
...so much to see
See the world...
outside your front door
