A Day to Rest

A day to rest both body and soul
Some call it Sabbath and that's okay
A day to relax and take a stroll
The principle is just take a day

A day for church and worshiping God
Reading the Bible and private prayer
Your toes in the grass with feet unshod
A nice cool drink, a shady lawn chair

Time for our loved ones and dear friends too
And maybe a stranger there as well
Watch the garden; how quickly it grew
Nothing to push, demand or compel
