UNDER THE CANOPY
You are with me in this space under a canopy of trees and stars Like a crystalline bubble That rises to the heavens Like child's play
We are safe and protected Under a sentinel of light Where we lift our face and hearts In appreciation and gratitude
Here, we are free from worry and fear And are confident in ourselves and in the future This space is the truth of our own soul
A garden that is nurtured By our loving thoughts and deeds That grows among the mystery of life And encircles those around us
