Excellent We're never alone. My Secret Place by John Cranford      Write a Rhyming Spiritual Poem Contest Winner

There is a place where I can go A place where no one's there to see The way to there I only know A secret place made just for me I go there in the morning mist When all the world remains asleep This quiet space I can't resist This sacred place where I retreat I break the earthly bonds that bind I'm free from them for in this place A blessed solitude I find And in my soul, I sense His grace I share with Him my solemn prayer I talk about the hills I climb He lets me know that He is there He says, "I've been here all the time."   Writing Prompt Write a rhyming abab cdcd etc. spiritual poem.
