In Woodland Solace,
I find my peace
Problems may exist
But not then
I feel bliss
The forest whispers
relief from pain
A balm for the broken,
sad, and the vain
In nature’s embrace,
my mood is light
My faith renewed,
my heart takes flight
Out here I see
the handiwork of my Creator
A masterpiece of wonder,
a testament of His glee
The woods remind me
to rest on Hope
To trust in the ONE
who makes my spirit cope
With every breath,
my soul revives
In the woods,
I find my heart’s alive
