"QUIET PLACE"
HAVE YOU EVER HAD DAYS, WHEN THERE'S NO ONE AROUND?YOU'RE LIVING ON "QICKSAND", THERE'S NO SOLID GROUND.
THE BILLS KEEP ON PILEING,,,,,NO MONEY TO PAY,
YOU AVOID ALL THE PHONE CALLS, THAT "DUNN" YOU EACH DAY.
YOU HOLD YOUR EARS TIGHTLY, AND JUST SIT THERE AND CRY,
YOU'RE ON A "FIXED INCOME",ALL YOU CAN DO IS JUST TRY!
YOU TRY HARD TO FIGHT IT,BUT YOUR BECOMING "DEPRESSED",
THERE'S TOO MUCH TO BARGIN! AND IT'S KEEPING YOU STRESSED!
HAVE YOU TRIED CREATING A PLACE OF YOUR OWN?
A "PLACE" TO UNWIND, FORGETTING ALL THAT'S BEEN "THROWN"!
IT'LL BE CALLED YOUR "QUIET PLACE", AND IT'S THERE JUST FOR YOU,
TAKE A BOOK, PEN, AND PAPER, YOU'LL KNOW WHAT TO DO.
NOW, FIND A NICE SPOT, AND SIT IN THE SHADE,
"BLOCK OUT" ALL THE "STRESS", FROM THE BILLS THAT AREN'T PAID!
THIS IS YOUR SPOT, FOR "PEACE",,,,,,,,,,AND IT DON'T COST A DIME!!
"YOU SET THE PLACE",,,,,,,,AND "YOU SET THE TIME"!
JUST "CLOSE" YOUR EYES, IT'S AMAZING YOU'LL SEE!
JUST TO "RELAX", THINK OF "SOMEWHERE" ELSE YOU'D BE.
"LISTEN" TO "SOUNDS" OF "NATURE" AROUND,
AND THE "FLOW" OF THE CREEK, LIKE A "WATERFALL" FOUND!
THINK "PLEASANT" THOUGHTS TO CALM DOWN YOUR "STRESS"
YOU CAN TALK TO "GOD"! HE'LL CLEAN UP YOUR MESS!
"CLOSE" YOUR EYES,"SPREAD" YOUR ARMS,
LET "THE BREEZE" BLOW ON YOU,
"THINK"WHAT YOU "ACCOMPLISHED", NOT THE "THINGS" YOU CAN'T DO!
THIS IS YOUR "SPECIAL PLACE",,,PUT A "SMILE" ON THAT FACE!
"FEEL" THE "COOL BREEZE" BLOW!
"HEAR" THE "WATERFALL" FLOW!
"LISTEN" TO THE BIRDS SING, "WATCH" THE SQUIRRELS PLAY IN TREES!
AS THE "FROGS" JUMP ON WATER, GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES!
NOW, YOU SEE HOW "MOTHER NATURE", CAN PUT YOU AT "PEACE"?
"THIS" IS "YOUR" "QUIET PLACE" AND ALL "PROBLEMS" WILL CEASE!
WATCH THE "BUTTERFLIES" "FLUTTER", SO PEACEFUL AND FREE?
"THESE" ARE THINGS TOOK FOR GRANTED,,,,,,,,YOU "FEEL" WHAT YOU SEE!
NOW, WRITE YOUR "FRUSTRATIONS" ALL DOWN ON A PAGE,
LET "IT" FLOW DOWN THE CREEK, RELEASING "TENTION" AND "RAGE".
YOU'LL FEEL YOURSELF "CALMER", NO NEED FOR A "TEAR",
FOR YOU FOUND YOUR "QUIET PLACE", AND "GOD'S" ALWAYS "NEAR"!!!!!!!
