Come Aside (A Place of Retreat)
Come aside and rest awhile in a place where the spirit dwells, where there is planted a refreshing seed of life. Come aside and rest awhile on pathways of serenity, built by hands that fold themselves in prayer. Come aside and rest awhile beneath a tree that feels all seasons. Here there are no barren bushes blown by dry winds, only voices of children loved by their God. Come away from your troubles, from the concrete walls of your world. Turn away from your loneliness and fear. Come aside and rest awhile in a place where the spirit dwells, where gentle song is carried on a breeze. Come aside and rest awhile with a deep prayer of love, words without need of worldly acceptance. copyright 1992 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author
