Peaceful Valley

Peaceful Valley

By Ruth Martin

I looked upon a peaceful valley
So green and lovely lying there.
The sun shone bright and birds were singing;
A rippling stream flowed clear and fair.

Each man can find his Peaceful Valley-
A Place to go when Days are long,
A Place to rest when Life grows dreary,
A Place to hide when Things go wrong;
A Place where Time and Miles are nothing,
Where Yester-Year is like Today,
Where Love's door stands forever open
And bids you come Inside and stay.

My Heart has found it's Peaceful Valley.
I hurry there when Day is gone.
I close it's Gate on Life's frustrations
I call my Peaceful Valley...HOME.
