PEACE BEGINS IN THE HOME AND THE HEART by HELEN STEINER RICE

PEACE IS NOT SOMETHING YOU FIGHT FOR
WITH BOMBS AND MISSILES THAT KILL,
NOR CAN IT BE WON IN A "BATTLE OF WORDS"
MAN FASHIONS BY SCHEMING AND SKILL...
FOR MEN WHO ARE GREEDY AND WARLIKE,
WHOSE AVARICE FOR POWER CANNOT CEASE,
CAN NEVER CONTRIBUTE IN HELPING
TO BRING THIS WORLD NEARER TO PEACE
FOR IN SEEKING PEACE FOR ALL PEOPLE
THERE IS ONLY ONE PLACE TO BEGIN
AND THAT IS IN EACH HOME AND HEART-
FOR THE FORTRESS OF PEACE IS WITHIN!

 

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you, Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.  John 14:27
