A Quiet Day At Home Alone
A quiet day at home alone can be a blessing rare
To eat or drink, and sit and think, while resting in my chair
To ponder on the days gone by… or what is yet to be
To hide God’s word inside my heart and set my burdens free
To pray out loud to God above and sing till heart’s content
To bake a cake and ice it too, and wonder where it went
To write a story and a poem and put it on my blog
Check facebook… and email too, and bathe till water logged
I left the dishes in the sink and called a friend to talk
And didn’t dry or curl my hair or go out for a walk
When I was young and kids were here I couldn’t waste the day
But now they’re gone and I am old and taking time to play
I played today while I was home alone and it was fun
Do you ever get the chance to slow down from your run?
I think we all need time alone to rest, or think and pray
I sure enjoyed my quiet time at home alone today!
