'Sometimes I Need To Get Away' Poem by Linda Winchell

Sometimes I need to get away
From all my friends and family.
And find a place and quietly rest
Underneath, our old maple tree.

I need a place of solitude
where I can just sit, on deep green sod.
Where I can pray, and just talk
with a deeper understanding, of my God.

I often need this special place
where I can thank God, for everything.
For my home, my health, my family
and all the joys and comfort, that they all bring.

I sometimes take a walk at night
Beneath the star lit sky, so bright.
And listen to the animals and bird calls
as Mr. Moon, gifts me with his light.

I know that I can talk to God
about my every, need and care.
For when I seek this quiet place
I am assured, He's always there!
