Down by the Branch
Christopher Bridges 1984 (East Ridge, Tennessee)
The chirp of birds
The croak of frogs
The whisp of wind
The ripple of streams
These things I hear
Down by the branch
The rustle of leaves
The snap of twigs
The song of crickets
The splash of the brim
These things I hear
Down by the branch
The calm of my spirit
The joy of my heart
The peace of my mind
The love of my soul
These things I hear
Down by the branch
