Peace and Love

reach inside with meditation
an early morning preparation
to greet the world with peace and love
so that a smile my face will crease

reach inside with meditation
for those who feel a separation
the homeless need someone on their side
to help them build inward pride

reach inside with meditation
for those who face their own creation
with bodies fighting illness
send them waves of healing wellness

reach inside with meditation
for those who sit in contemplation
of their bodies age-worn demands
offer comfort and hold their hands

reach inside with meditation
for those suffering incarceration
bless their lives although a mess
help them to learn forgiveness

reach inside with meditation
for those who spew denigration
who create wars and conflagration
offer them peace, love, and revelation

meditation first, motivation second
