My Secret Place

My Secret Place When the world is too much with me And I long to fly away I lay back in contentment And listen to music play Rachmaninov is my God Puccini makes me cry The symphony is my home For the Opera I would die Whenever terror strikes me And I think I'll lose my mind I put my feet up on the chaise And leave my cares behind I don't need mental help Or even Dr. Phil I just listen to the violins I have no need for pills This is my private place Far away from strife Music is a gift from God I will treasure all my life Copyright©2005Beatrice Boyle (All rights reserved)
