Secret Place

I’m looking for a secret place

One away from the rat race

Where I can talk to God

Without feeling odd

Smell a few roses

Then strike a few poses

Count every blessing

Without a lot of stressing

Feel something pure

Feel safe and secure

A place to call home

A place where I can roam

I’m looking for a secret place

Something to hold me near

One that will remove my fear

A place to keep me strong

Whether I’m right or wrong

A place that will make me smile

Dance and shout awhile

A place that’s a journey

Meant for me only

One filled with tender loving care

One that I can share

One filled with purpose

And one very large space

A secret place

One Woman

One woman can pray

She can see things God’s way

One woman can be a light

That shines day and night

One woman can love

Like heaven above

Once woman can stand

While holding God’s hand

One woman can rise

She can be wise

Once woman can be blessed

Instead of stressed

One woman can learn

Her stripes she can earn

One woman can see

What’s meant to be

One woman can take a chance

She can do a victory dance

One woman can offer something pure

She can feel safe and secure

One woman can make a day

In her own way

One woman

Left Behind

We search for what we left behind

Hoping we’ll find peace of mind

The memories are real

Too difficult to conceal

We search for something old

The things we use to hold

What use to make us smile

Things that last awhile

What made us strong

Whether we’re right or wrong

And what we love

Like heaven above

We search for what we left behind

It seems so very close

We search more than most

For what gave us purpose

How it rose to the surface

What made us rejoice

When we heard God’s voice

What we use to treasure

Beyond all measure

God’s way

How we prayed every day

Our solid ground

And the peace of mind

We left behind

In Our Time

In our time

We continue to pray

We cherish every day

We learn to love

Just like heaven above

Our life lessons

Become heartfelt confessions

We get stronger

As our days get longer

We learn to rejoice

When we hear God’s voice

And we find solid ground

No matter who’s around

In our time

God will be there

He’ll give us tender loving care

We’ll continue to grow

We’ll share what we know

We’ll have something to hold

Our story will be told

We’ll sit perfectly still

We’ll accept God’s will

We’ll embrace the journey

Meant for us only

In our time

Day By Day

Day by day

We continue to pray

Life becomes whole

As God fills the soul

We gain strength

By talking with Him at length

The lessons we learn

Are worth the scars we earn

Little by little every step we take

Becomes a memory we’ll make

And we embrace our power

Hour after hour

Day by day

We embrace the love

Sent from heaven above

The beat of the heart

Gives us a brand-new start

Many seeds are planted

Many blessings are granted

We continue to grow

As we share what we know

We find something rare

God is always there

And we know where we stand

As we hold God’s hand

Day by day
