A Secret Place
[HR]



Each of us has a secret place
Somewhere deep within
A place where we go to get away
To think things through
To be alone
To be ourselves



This special place, where we keep all our deepest feelings
Becomes a storehouse of all our hopes
All our needs, all our dreams
All our unspoken fears
It holds the essence of who we are
And what we want to be



But now and then, someone comes along
And discovers a way into that place
We thought was ours alone
And we allow that person to see
To feel and to share
All the secrets, all the uncertainty
And all the emotion we\'ve stored up there



That person adds new perspective to our hidden realm
Then quietly settles down
In his or her own corner of our special place
Where a part of them will live forever



And we call that person
a friend
