The In Between

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We spend our lives in tick and tock,

The moments that life brings,

But in between the big moments

Are all the precious things.

 

The stillness of the early dawn,

The rainfall on the roof,

The fruit blossoms in early spring

That lead to autumn’s proof.

 

The joy we find in simple things,

Like simply being still,

Can matter more than the events

That test our strength and will.

 

Life brings us to the ticks and tocks

That shape the world we know,

But how we live the in between

Determines how we grow.

 

Ecclesiastes 4:6

Better is a handful of quietness than two hands full of toil and a striving after wind.
