Thanks for the joy you've given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
The rhythm, rhyme and harmony
They've helped me along…they're making me strong

Written by: Mentor Williams
Sung by: Dobie Gray

In my mind I go there
inhaling deeply the smell of dawn
as the tides ebb in crescendo,
gently lapping at bare toes

easing the weight from
my furrowed brow
and I hear your voice
warming my heart.

I close my eyes
and I am there
being held safe from harm
in the quiet place

of your calm.

after a fall I get back up,
move on 'cause the past is the past and theres no tomorrow if remaining in still waters while the river flows on ~dsmith

Donna, what a beautiful place that must be

That quiet place where you can reside

Away from the pressures that

surround us today, beautiful poem
