Mary Oliver
Liner Notes
Who doesn't love Mary Oliver?!? Plus I get to use the word enjambment in a song lyric...
Lyrics
Sitting down with Mary Oliver I open up a book of her collected verse She takes me on a walk through the woods with her She urges me to notice what God has placed upon this Earth
And the printed words reveal the truth That everything is right here before my eyes Tell me what is it you plan to do With your one wild and precious life
What can you tell me Mary Oliver About paying attention to the smallest things? It’s in the middle of your lines and the enjambment of your perfect words As you sing the songs of rocks and sky and delicate grasshopper wings
And I'm sitting down with Mary Oliver Yes I’m sitting down with Mary Oliver

Her words certainly teach us to notice the small but yet important things. I enjoyed this ode to her prowess in getting us to stop and reflect
