Places

Do you have a "happy place"
Where you can go to relax?
Either in your mind or reality--
With no phones, e-mails, or fax?

Some do yoga or meditate.
Some work out stress at the gym.
Others go to a fancy resort,
Or commune with nature to re-balance them.

Everyone needs a "happy place"
To escape to when things get rough.
Challenges are to make you stronger,
To learn if you have the "right stuff".

Some people have nothing--
No "happy place" or home at all.
Some are military veterans
Who answered their country's call.

There are also animals
Who have no "forever home".
Some abuse and abandon them
To try and survive on their own.

God wants all of his creations
To have their own place--
Be kind to others and help
Them to feel safe.
