Peace surrounds us if we just sit still
Close ones eyes and allow our bodies to relax
Feel each and every inward muscle begin to loosen
And cushion to the surface beneath
Sense your breath with its inner and outer motion stretch
Jump up brush off smile and begin again

Thoughts wanting to fly to greener pasture
As life seems brighter on the other side
If we could just hide for a while
Maybe a new kind of peace we could find

The garden so peaceful and delightful
Such radiance radiates around me
Such peace and love within me
Excitement rushing out of me
If only you could see this sheer beauty
That shines around me

His face brightly lit like nothing ever seen
The sweet smell that delights in me
I never want this to end
The words ‘your time’s not yet’
Saddens my heart
Brings tears to my eyes
But why is my cry?

You gladly graced us with your presence
Here on earth.

With a quite stillness,
You floated to your
Peaceful rest,

You gave your best, but
It was your chosen time
And we are left behind.

Thinking of our happy times,
Fills our eyes
As we, begin to cry.
