Rest Awhile

Rest awhile the worries of today Best I tend to what I can actually change There are those who still count on my love To be readily placed at the doorstep Others who seek a shoulder to lean on Let me leave my burdens home and hold their hand A day bright before me, waves me over Wide and welcoming, "Come as you are" I allow the new air of forgiveness to fill me What am I if not humble and hopeful Go where the vibes are friendly and light is soft My heart needs a rainbow to cross over Where the faces of my brothers and sister shine I will know my Place of Peace It is not enough to chase away the gray I must unzip the clouds and find my hiding sun Soul and Spirit: give me guidance, grant me direction That today begins another unwritten chapter I have volumes of lionhearted love left undiscovered Awaiting one that will take the time to dig deeply Promises are too frequently given away To those who do not value their worth I shall keep the promise made to myself To rest awhile the worries of this day
