Solitude

(poem only – image not taken from His Children)
The water is wide and shimmers clear.
Each tree’s reflection, straight and tall,
stands witness to the majesty
of God, who has created all.
In quiet places He draws near;
let any who would seek release
withdraw into the wilderness
and find in Him a sense of peace.
