Park Bench

I have heard of a bench that’s quite known to all
That is used by some spirits some days in the Fall.
You can find such a bench near a creek ‘neath a tree.
And I hope it comes true that which happened to me.

For I came to this bench with my worries and strife
And a spirit was there; she was so full of life.
Now I think of this spirit with all of her care
For you see, we’re all nurtured by spirits somewhere.

On that bench all my worries were lifted from me.
When I asked of the spirit how it happened to be,
She related that one day she’d come to that scene
And she found that her worries became quite serene.

But she offered as well this quite sobering thought
That her magic would only be good, as it ought.
If you knew by yourself you could easily wrench
All the cares in your life by that magical bench.
