The storms of life

raged around me,

black clouds swirled, and the cold winds

made my soul ache to be free.

The night filled with terrors

of unknown tomorrows,

my heart over flowing with doubts,

drowning in tears of boundless sorrows.

Then I searched for serenity,

safe paths to follow for a day,

and I finally found it,

a place to be alone, My Hideaway.

A place to rest, find peace,

smell the roses, and more,

listen as the robins sing,

or watch the majestic eagle soar.

A place to watch the sun

burst gloriously into a new day,

a place of quiet , solitude,

my haven, My Hideaway.

No, it doesn't change my life,

make the sorrows go away,

nor bring instant happiness,

it just gives me hope, My Hideaway.

As the raging sea batters the helpless shore,

or angry, swirling winds uproot majestic pine,

so does life bring storms of pain, disallusionment,

and despair but they last for just a short time.

So I'll ride out this storm,

whether for a week or a day,

by seeking solace, peace,

rebuild my life, in My Hideaway.

And where, you ask,

is this place, and can I go there any day?

Oh yes, for it's deep inside me,

where my mind can take me, alone,

To My Hideaway.
