God in Our Midst

- Windows into the Nature of Our Surroundings -

Look at the birds in the sky
are they ever asking why?
With open wings they fly their way
waiting only for a new day.

Look at the flowers in the meadow
they don't feel distress or sorrow.
Without worries, without fear
they rise from the ground year after year.
That is indeed the greatest trust,
so why should you worry so much?
Worries don't stop birds from flying,
rising high up to the sky.

Worries are only a burden
bringing your life nothing but sorrow
and you can't have more days than was ment.
So don't worry about tomorrow
it comes, it is past,
live this moment
like it is your very last.

Why are you so troubled,
why do you worry now?
Worries don't stop the blossom of flowers,
are they ever asking how?
How to dye life with (joyful) colours.
