All My Days

Let my life be praise.

May all my days bless others.

This is my prayer.

Waves Roll High

Wisdom dawns for me

At the boundries of the sea.

Waves roll high

As morning tides

Erase my certainty.

For every course I run

Underneath the blazing sun,

Despite it all,

I’m still so small,

When all is said and done.

I watch the waters lift

And pull and swell and drift,

I must confess

Deep thankfulness,

For Life is such a gift.

Dreaming of Peace

Peace comes not from threat of force,

From fear or wealth, some fragile source.

Peace is found in people whole

And fed and free; when every soul

Has food to eat, a place to sleep,

When we collectively can weep

For all injustice, every loss,

Beyond all superficial gloss.

When we build each other up

And share of every meal and cup,

When we drop arms of every kind,

Maybe then some Peace we’ll find.

Yes, educated, healed, and loved,

We’ll find the Peace we’re dreaming of.
