Peaceful Moments
To find peaceful moments
I’ve always yearned for
That flow inside of me
And keep growing more
I must always remember
With me is where to begin
As I prefer to turn away
From a violent situation
If I find myself caught
In the midst of dismay
I always use kindness
To gracefully step away
Hecticness floats around
Through all walks of life
If I keep peace with me
It lessens painful strife
The moments of peace
Are filled with tranquility
A calmness deep within
That revives new energy
We never really know
When our life will end
So we should sure enjoy
This life we are given
The life that is filled
With God’s creation all around
Where many peaceful moments
Can always be found
Peaceful moments are like
A gentle blowing of the wind
A beautiful setting sun
Or a star twinkling on end
Petting your favorite pet
The flutter of leaves on a tree
The crackling of a campfire
Or the glistening of the sea
Watching a child sleep
Holding hands of a loved one
Or being tightly embraced
By that special someone
There are far many more
Too many to count, I’d say
But moments pass quickly
So don’t let them slip away
Time must be taken
To take the moments in
For it is within your self
You feel the peaceful feelings
