A stick can prance,
As a rock can dance.
For you never know,
The summer has snow.

It doesn’t take much,
So sit and hush.
Silence has it all,
Great and small.

The wind will dance,
If you give it a chance.
Tag along if you’d like,
Or with the grass take a hike.
Follow the trees,
To play with the bees.
And listen to the words
When you sing with the birds.

It doesn’t take much,
So sit and hush.
Silence has it all,
Great and small.

All it takes is time,
So be a mime.
Sit very still,
And watch that hill.
Look very close,
But don’t be gross.
Be nice to me,
And you will see.

It doesn’t take much ,
So just sit and hush.
Silence has it all,
Great and small.

The author's comments:
The song 'All Things Bright and Beautiful' inspired this. I was sitting in the library after missing school for a day and this came to me. Everyone appriciates music, but take time to love the silence. It's really halpful sometimes...

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
