Way out in the country, a young girl  sits in the shade of a big old oak tree on a hot summer day, the breezes making ripples in the tall green grass surrounding her;

She listens to the sound of a nearby stream and the sounds of the birds singing in the rustling trees, and watches the golden sunlight peeking through the huge canopy of green leaves high above her;

There is silence but for the sounds of nature surrounding her, and the voices of her mother and brothers through the big old open windows, calling to one another about this and that


and with a heart filled with peace and joy overflowing, she sings to the world around her, as if in a prayer,
