Tranquility

April 10, 2023

It seems that not so long ago
I longed for some tranquility,
My frantic pace to ease and slow,
Find inner peace inside of me.

My pace has slowed, I’ve had some time,
More time to read and to reflect.
I’ve jotted down my thoughts in rhyme.
Now quiet time I don’t neglect.

It’s not some mystic in a trance.
It’s not a special chant or phrase.
It’s not a ritual or dance.
Just turn to God, give Him my praise.

The Lord gave up His life and died
But rose again that I might live.
The Lord’s my source of peace inside,
That peace that only God can give.

Lord, You’re my source of peace and joy.
You’ve been my strength since just a boy.
