PEACE

We look for peace
For our self
Our friends and family
The country
And world

Conflict exists
Gets in the way of peace
What can we do?

There are always sides
One pitted against the other
Desire for control and power
Winners and losers
Who owns the peace?

Those with respect
Who will reconcile between
Good and evil
And are willing
To endure
Until justice is served

Hunger and homelessness
Are no ingredients for peace
Time heals all wounds
Many factors involved

Peace is a dream
We arrive at it in
Various ways
It is individual
Until sometime
We can all come together

BEAUTY IN WORDS

These are not all my 
Words ---
But what is it to you
Some of them are
They are beautiful 
And lift the spirit

“Grab your coat and
Get your hat; leave
Your worry on the doorstep
Just direct your feet
To the sunny side of the street”

“Can’t you hear a pitter-pat?
And that happy tune is a step
Life can be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street”

Live the moment my friends
Then you are alive
And really living

Think of others first
The sun will be in your heart
The worries will go away
And life will be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street
