Where water lillies float
Sometimes I go out
The peace it settles over me
Flowers surround my pond
While in the air
In this place so gentle
At once I am overwhelmed
This old bench I sit upon
I'll seek the guidance
I'll thank Him for contentment
I'll say a prayer that my children
Soon dusk settles over
But tonight as I lay down by Patrice Vicory©
There is a pond
Outside my home
With waters still and clear,
And frogs do leap
It is a spot so dear.
To sit and reflect
Over a troubled day,
My mind seeks tranquility
As my cares do float away.
Dressed in their finest hues
Sweetly scenting the air
The butterflies do dance around
To a tune only they can hear
I feel nearer to my God
His presence is all around,
By the gift of nature
Filled with heavenly sound.
Has become like a dear old friend
So for a bit I'll stay,
Of my gentle Savior
As I come to pray,
And the beauty all around
All these gifts He gives to me,
And for my grandchildren too
That they'll be aware of what they see
As duty bids me to go in
For there are promises to keep,
I will find a comfort
To lay me down in peace and sleep.
