SLOW ME DOWN, LORD

Slow me down, Lord
Ease the pounding of my heart by
quieting of my mind.
Steady my hurried pace with a vison of
the eternal reach of time.
Give me, amid the cofusion of the day
the calmness of the everlasting hills.
Break the tensions of my nerves and
muscles with the soothing music of the
singing streams that live in my memory.
Help me to know the magical, restoring
power of sleep.
Teach me the art of taking minute
vacations - of slowing down to look at a
flower, to chat with a friend, to pat a dog,
to read a few lines from a good book.
Slow me down, Lord, and inspire me to
send my roots deep into the soil of life's
enduring values that I may grow toward the
stars of ny greater destiny.
