A PEACEFUL ROOM

A PEACEFUL ROOM

In every heart there is a room

Where shelter can be found,

A place of love and memory

Where joy and tears abound.

A place of shelter from the storm

Where love’s young dream lives on ~

A place to visit often

Where families are one.

Laughter rings from this room

And comfort bears the soul

On angel wings and carries it back

To where it can be whole.

No aging here in memory,

And days all long and fair

A special place to visit

Away from toil and care.

Love is fresh and new

And very starry eyed.

A remembered glance and touch

A smile of tenderness and pride.

Conversation soft and low

Sweet, sweet wine and flowers.

Visiting this heart room

Brings again the joy of hours.

The tears that have been shed here

And some brought sweet release,

The agony of waiting and watching

For morning to bring some peace..

The memory of cooling

A precious child’s fevered brow,

The hoping and the praying

That it would be alright somehow.

In this room of your heart

Stand shelves of memories treasure

The bitter/sweet and painful ones,

The ones which bring such pleasure.

Visit your heart’s room often

Restore and find some calm

It is a special place indeed

And will shelter you from harm.
