In Secret Places

In secret places that I know,
I like to worship God and show
Appreciation for the land
He fashioned with a loving hand.
An alpine lake or waterfall,
Will often cause me to recall
Some verse within the Bible where
He demonstrates eternal care.

A summer meadow seems to be
A place where He might walk with me
And even though I am alone,
There is a comfort I have known
That tells me He's a presence there
And that together, we can share,
Each lovely scene that comes to view.
Though He's unseen, I know that's true!

There is a Holy feeling where
A forest aisle, so green and fair,
That stretches forth in front of me,
Invites my feet to come and see
What secret places I can find,
That only God could leave behind!

Hey Trill - I bet I have been away longer - this poem is beautiful.  I can always find my heavenly Father in nature. Thank you.  Sorry I have faded away in my writing - but I have missed this place so and I am hoping a few postings will get me inspired once again.  God Bless You - Tim

This is beautiful Betty.  You and Elizabeth should write a book together.  Love, Joyce

Dear Joyce:  That is a kind suggestion, but I'm afraid Elizabeth's poetry leaves mine in the shadows!
