It’s about Attitude

God, I thank you for the place

God, I thank you for the place

where no one goes

but you and I;

For the secret field, the tree,

The rock, the corner of the

house  where I may go and find myself again,

And in finding me again,

find You.

What longed for peace

Creeps in upon my heart when

Hidden in this secret place,

I listen to the silence and

Shortly lose that tightness that

Held me fast, unhappy and afraid.

In time I find that I can look

Around at your quiet things.

The leaf so very near my head,

The lines on the boards

Beneath my feet, or the

Bird that scolds a bit

Because I am here, then flies away.

And when I’ve looked at those a while

And rested in the hush,

I know that you are near

And I can find myself again.
