My Own Backyard
Dear
Lord, when things get hectic
And living seems so
hard,
I just go out and sit
awhile,
Within my own
backyard.
For there it's quiet
and peaceful,
Beneath the shady
trees,
And sunlight through
the branches,
Accompanies ever
breeze.
There are a dozen shades of green,
Designed
to please the eye,
Chubby squirrels and
humming birds,
... A golden
butterfly.
The honeysuckle's
perfume,
permeates the
air,
And though I do not see Him,
I know
that God is here.
The sky so high above my head,
Is an
electric blue,
And there are lazy
cotton clouds,
With nothing else to
do,
But sail across the heavens,
And yet
I know that I
Was given hope whose
sturdy wings
were also meant to
fly,
This old
world we inhabit,
is much the worse for
wear,
Beauty fades so
quickly,
And hearts forget to
care.
But somehow I've
discovered,
Within my own
backyard,
A peaceful
sanctuary
... In which I find
the Lord.
