My Secret Place

I hideaway sometimes in my secret place A place of true serenity, heartache, there is no trace. It has a beauty all its own, unlike any place I know. Just being there a moment sets my heart aglow There is a gentle stream that babbles like quiet music The birds join in to sing their comforting, sweet lyric The trees seem to sway as if to dance along To the gentle rhythm of nature’s heavenly song. It is truly a divine and beautiful secret place; I know that God has blessed it with His holy embrace. It is a place that belongs to me, it is my very own, No one else can visit there if I want to be alone. It is my mind’s peaceful and perfect creation, To which I have engaged the gift of my imagination.
