My Thoughtful Spot

There is a bench upon a hill
That overlooks a lake 
And when I’m there, my heart’s bestilled
My troubles I forsake 

If places could be poems, then 
Idyllic is this psalm 
Its beauty stirs my inner pen
My soul to write upon 

Surrounded by these twisted oaks
In shrouds of lichen lace
I feel welcomed by these friendly folks
And at home in this place

A piece of heaven I’ve long sought 
Lies just over yonder 
And when I’m there, my thoughtful spot
Is where I sit and ponder.
