POET'S CORNER #17

 PEACE Begins in the Home and the Heart


Peace is not something yon fight for - with bombs and missiles that kill

Peace is attained in the silence that comes when the heart stands still 

For hearts that are restless and warlike with longings that never cease 

Can never contribute ideas that bring the world nearer to peace. 


For as dew never falls on a morning that follows a dark, stormy night 

The peace and grace of our Father fall not on a soul in flight

So if we seek peace for all people, there is but one place to begin

And the armament race will not win it for the fortress of peace is within.


HELLEN  STEINER  RICE
