Meditation Poem by Sarah Sisson

A thousand hours I could stay….
…in my rock garden. Here I pray.
The English theme; the flowers grow.
I meditate God lets me know…
…that I am special; I am strong.
I sit in awe; I think of song.
It’s peaceful here and I feel safe.
It’s comfortable; made with taste.
I come outside to listen close…
…to what God says I value most.
He speaks to me with gentle tone…
…and I feel love from Him. My home…
…is graceful here inside my porch.
I sit here with the glowing torch…
…that lights my seating just a bit.
I share my life with God. Admit…
…I did not know that He was near.
He carries me through love and fear.
This is a place for me to love.
The garden where I’m high above…
…the planet. I am close to Him.
I’m guided, happy; always grin…
…because I feel His power here.
I never knew He was so near.
I sit and pray. I listen close…
…and meditation means the most…
…right here inside this cubbyhole..
…with flowers that relieve my soul.
