I Know A Place


Here in the Outback we seek

Shelter from the heat

And balm for the soul.

Down from the Circle there is a place

For the laughter of friends

And the squeak of birds.

Our space is filled with the aroma of coffee

And the homey sounds of work in the kitchen,

And the scent of Barbara's cookies.

The TV's going, but I'd rather talk,

Come meet me soon

At the Gaither Center.
