Meditation
I come to this place while dew is on the rose
This secret, private place of which no one knows
I visit here daily as a way to keep balance
And again through the day as life's stresses arise
As I grow along on this spiritual path
This place that I come to is easier to grasp
Its peace and its wonder are entirely my own
I continue to expand the reality known
In this secret, private place of which we all can know
Trying to give it away won't work
Trying to teach of it may become my life's work
My gift to others as we journey this life
Each of us can carry within us this place with the rose
I go there especially in the deepest dark nights of the soul
My answers to questions are so often found
When I take time to visit this sacred ground
So please as you journey thru' life's rituals
Remember you carry deep in your soul
This pace where the dew is new on the rose
This secret, private place of which no one knows
Only you and your God can share in its moments
Where ever, when ever you feel the deep need
You can draw on its strength even if not on your knees
The peace, the serenity are yours for eternity
Remember to visit this place, giving to Him your honest face
Give to Him each of the petals that form your life
He knows already when you come here in strife
The gratitude I feel is sometimes hard to find
As life's troubles leave this place far behind
I come here daily to this place as a reminder to me
That His vision for me is sometimes difficult to see
If I choose to look deep into this secret, private place
I will always see the dew on the rose
As God's Gift to me
of Grace.
