~ I Need A Quiet Place ~
Oft I find at the end of the day
I need a quiet place,
a place where I can pray;
In the garden of prayer
is a rolling brook,
Reflections of my face
as I look into
the serene
and tranquil stream
flowing slowly and peacefully along,
I stop to listen as the whippoorwill
sings it's song,
How exquisite is the personality of nature,
each production in it's own time,
I have found my quiet place
my solitude,
My place of prayer
to God sublime.
