No Room for Hate.

There is no room within my heart
for revenge, fire or hate
there is no room within my mind
for any thoughts like these.

I cannot find the words to say
just how it is I feel
but I know from deepest hurt
I must forgiveness find.

The hurt that’s been done to us
cuts sore like a knife,
but we must not, repay in kind
what has been done to us.

Instead we must try and find
the way that is so hard,
and reach out our loving hands
to find some friendship now.

There can be no more healing thing
than opening wide our eyes
and seeing that most other folk
are really just like us.

This first poem was written in memory of all those that died in 7/7 but equally applies to those who lost loved ones in other tragedies....

I feel sadness and pity for those who organized this bombing. Their hearts are full of fear and hatred. They need a huge dose of peace and love to make them realize that violence has never solved anything, quite the opposite it only brings more violence.

what an unfortunate and sad thing. I am doubly saddened by the attacks in Mumbai, India is a one of the countries where I always dreamed live :-(

I pray for all the victims and I wish all kind of violence will stop in our lovely world.

'm adding my prayers for the victims and their families but also for the perpetrators that they may find the love and peace that resides somewhere in their hidden, hardened hearts. I keep a candle burning in my home with the prayer for peace and love to reign supreme upon the Earth and within the hearts and minds of all humanity. Blessings fellow peace workers.

May Light and Love enfold all, and Peace and forgiveness enter hearts who are troubled or grieving in India and all places on planet Earth in turmoil. We all make a difference by constantly sending vibrational healing.
We can make a difference. Love to all.

never pay violence with violence, love, love love, all you need is love, help, donate, protect, no retaliation, if we can not understand each other we talk and talk or we move on, in private life and among nations, respect will bring peace! hugs and kisses my iPeace friends
