PEACE

Once I had trouble with myself
Wondering pondering and looking for help
All about me i could only see and hear
Agonies of grief and fear
Then with deep thought i wished and questioned
If only the pains and confusion
were all but great illusions.

All of a sudden from high above
It seemed i saw a white dove
Flying over me with an olive in it's mouth
with great joy i said aloud
Alas! all my troubles are ceased
For that was a symbol of peace!

Peace that surpasses all understanding
such that brings with it a lasting calmness
Taking away all sorrows and suffering
And giving joy in it's fullness
So without doubt i knew that all of these
were the wondrous works of peace!
