Find comfort in the silence,
Slow things down and take your time,
Find ways to ignore to noise you hear,
Find peace within your mind.

Close your eyes and hear the wind blow,
Feel the sun upon your face,
Find yourself a calmer shore,
And dwell within that place.

Ignore the waves, you see around,
Hear the waters reach the shore,
For it’s what we choose to see and hear,
That makes our experience even more.

Celebrate the day that’s done,
And set your mind at ease,
Take a breath and rest your feet a while,
Give yourself time to be at peace.

Look up and see the stars above,
Get lost within their light,
Draw another deep, long breath,
And know you’ll be alright.

Find comfort in the universe,
That’s unfolding as it should,
Rest and know, you’ve done your best today,
And it’s all that anyone could.

Be patient with what tomorrow brings,
It will come in its own time,
And when you rise and life begins,
No doubt that you’ll be fine.

So close your eyes, and sleep tonight,
And wash away your sorrow,
Take strength in knowing, you’re not alone,
And you’ll start again tomorrow.

For the strength it takes each day… to be grateful… to set aside worry… and to find peace in silence.
