I wrote this poem about peace while I was in college. I thought I’d share with you today as we live among chaos in this world…
Peace
What is peace?
It is the feeling of security
although you don’t see it
The calm after the storm
The bugle’s cry at a funeral
What is peace?
It is something everyone longs
for throughout his life
The inspiration to continue forward
The satisfaction of doing right
What is peace?
It is the smile from a loved one after
a hard day at work
The kisses and barks from your dog
The relaxation of no more work until Monday
What is peace?
It is lying in the middle of a field
knowing you are alone
The view of thousands of stars
The sight of animals running freely
What is peace?
It is knowing that you are true
to yourself and to others
The assurance that others are real
The confidence that you can make it
This is peace.
Peace. Just the word sounds delightful to me! Do you need peace today in your life? If so, where do you need peace today in your life? I’d love to hear what peace looks like to you?
