peace for life--poem

PEACE FOR LIFE

The innermost struggle that needs to be won
a battle of the spirit that never seems done.

Each day that passes is a decision of survival,
against the brother who became the rival.

The harmony in nature has been broken
with empty words and thoughts unspoken.

This we are told is the cause of our mistrust and fear
that the life we cherish and hold so dear will be
shattered by one wrong move, one descending power.

So let us look to ourselves this day, this hour,
for the guidance and wisdom to a small, but simple word…
Peace
for all eternity let it be between you and me.
