MIND TRIP
by Richard Maxfield
7-7-99
When life gets, way to tuff
and my mind is full, of hurtful stuff
when there is, no one to care
the weight of life, to much to bear
I look to God, for a break
give me relief, for heavens sake
then my mind, will take a trip
in a plane, or on a ship
far away, to some distant shore
where troubles and heart ace, are no more
cool breeze, under the shade of a palm
blue still water, peaceful and calm
in a jungle, lush and green
far form life, or so it seams
I close my eyes, in a distant gaze
tall blue mountains, in a smoky haze
the sound of a bird, his song so clear
peace of God, oh so near
troubles of life, slowly fade
one more day, I have made
