The Third Place
---
Hope you have a place called home
And a job that pays to keep pace
And if blessed then a third place

That place should feel like a nest
And be easy on your breast
For ours is the shepherds rest

A place of peace but not always quiet
A place where they know your name
And they understand your game

It’s not a place for using your phone
But somewhere you can be very prone
To a chat with someone unknown

I hope it always remains the same
For it’s a place to share ones pain
As well as all the things we gain

For It not about the big screen TV
It’s about the people who care
About what you have to share

So please take the time to care
About what others have to share
For they too have things to bear

So whether it’s tent or van
The pub or function room
We always have a ball
For come rain or shine
The shepherds rest has it all.
