My Special Place

I should think we all have a special place we like to visit on our own. The is about mine.

I often walk for miles on my own
To relieve the stresses of the day,
And take the exercise that I need
While I marvel at the beauty of the bay.

As the sun shines on the frosty ground
I always increase my pace,
And find myself heading towards my log,
Which is without doubt my favourite place.

It lies high up on the hilltop
Overlooking the most beautiful scene.
I can see the harbour, the boats and the ocean,
A wonderful view from a place so serene.

I forget all the family’s problems,
And the woes of the world fade away.
I always feel completely at peace,
And so thankful for all I survey.

I’m sure someone placed it there for me,
As there used to be nowhere to sit.
Or maybe someone else loves that place too,
And needed somewhere to sit for a bit.

It’s so refreshing if you have time for yourself and away from the crowd—and find tranquility…

Very nice!

Nice work. Glad you have a special place like that. I just came from a beach vacation, and I hope I could stay in that place. But my work is in the city.
