~Dawning Of A New Day~
Sometimes, when I'm weary,
and feel I can't go on,
I sneak off to my ‘special place’
in the light of early dawn.
My place is deep in woodlands,
’God's Country’ called by some,
when my burden gets too heavy,
I hear a voice say, "Come."
I go there when I'm saddened,
and my heart is aching so.
The beauty and serenity
help ease my pain, I know.
It's there I can find comfort,
sometimes needed solitude.
I feel much closer to my God
as He gently lifts my mood.
Is it just my ‘special place’,
or the Lord above, Himself?
For somehow when I leave there,
I feel I’ve found great wealth.
Perhaps, it's just my being there,
or maybe it's God's way
of telling me to try again—
It's the dawning of a new day.
