There must be a place,
If only I knew.
A small, quiet place
Where my heart will renew.
There must be a place,
Where I feel right at home.
Where loved ones are waiting
And I'm never alone.
There must be a place,
I know it's nearby.
Each time I will listen,
I hear its lullaby.
This place is quite beautiful,
It's welcoming me.
If only I'd find it,
I'd not want to leave.
Somewhere there's a place
Where my sorrows will ease.
My place of calm gentleness,
Where I can find peace.
There must be a place,
Somewhere, just for me.
And I'll go on looking,
'Till this place I can see.
I wrote this while a little depressed one day. I was moving to a new home and I was thinking about whether I would feel at home there; if it would ever feel calming. Praise the Lord! I feel more at home here than I ever did before. I haven't yet found that ultimately peaceful, soothing home. I'll keep looking on earth, but I do know that I have the best home ever, waiting for me in Heaven. As always, God bless!
