This was actually written several years ago while I was attending a christian college in tennessee. On campus was a small garden called the, 'garden of prayer'. it was beautiful, and it inspired this poem. hope you like it.  ____________________________________________ joyous music fills the air- a bird joins in the song a flower grows- a tree stands tall- a chipmunk scurries past love travels in on butterfly wings to dry the tear from my eye 'tis peaceful here in this garden of prayer- all worries are cast aside and when i return to the world outside my burdens i'll carry no more for my Father will take them from me i have only to let them go. -vlraynes "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truely met the poet. -vlraynes |

Sounds like a beautiful place vl, and you have written well of it. And a great message too...if only I'd remember - to just let them go!!!! Thanks for this, Bonnie |

Oh, Vicky~ This is so pretty and brings about a feeling of peace and serenity. I've visited those special gardens and have yet to not feel the calm overtake me. Isn't it nice that someone thinks to set aside these lovely outings for our minds and spirits to commune. Beautiful, my friend. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Vicky, A place of peace and quiet contemplation, communing with nature about you, what a wonderful place to talk to God. Reading this poem left me with a serene calm, and a soul smile. Bless you for sharing this! Dennis :^) Moonbeams radiate When the veiling cloud has passed Playful shadows dance Dennis L. White :^) |

Vicki, It certainly shows in this poem that you found the senerity and peace you sought. It leaves me with a defining calm and peace. Sweet, sweet loving poem to Jesus. Glad you shared that part of you and the Bible College, that was a dream of mine at that age. Marcy |
