I sit here in my solitude
Just passing the time of day
I am lost within my daydreams
The real world seems far away

A place where I escape to often
For it brings much joy to me
Deep within my mind
I find peace and harmony

A special time for reflection
To think of those I love
I often think of my dear father
Whose light shines from high above

I search deep inside my memory
To the times that made me smile
Then I remember the sad times
When I walked life's lonely mile

But I am rich in so many ways
This I know to be true
As I open up my heart
And share my life with you

"Step into the presence of just one person
who radiates love and you, too,
are positively affected.
Step into a moment of mindfulness
of love - think about bringing love
to the situation you are in - and you,
too, are positively affected"
