As I sat down by the brook
A moment for reflection I took
Emotional I became
For reasons I cannot name
Tears ran down my face
For some distant hurt, I can't place
The river bubbled
I no longer felt troubled
I obviously needed this time of grief
Because it has granted blessed relief
I won't question mysterious ways
As I wander home in a bit of a daze
A lot calmer I am, some peace within
So sit down by the brook for awhile
It may send you home with a smile
