PEACE IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE
You speak to me
In your gentle voice
Sounds like notes played
On your guitar
There is thunder
In the distance
In the mountains
Do you think they
Are peacefully bowling
Peace would not include fear
It would include kindness
And laughter
Peace would include play
And children
But life is not that way
Life is made up all things
The good and the bad
And it could not be another way
When we are invited to the banquet
We want to taste all that is offered
Things happen
And they are not things we like
And almost at the same moment
Things happen that we do like
We choose to wear a coat of many colors
We choose to be sad when loved ones die
We choose to celebrate births of new people
When it is possible we choose peace
It is not always possible
