A Lone Voice

A lone voice echoes in the hear of the valley Did you hear it? Are you willing to work for peace? Tall trees surround the green carpet which is the valley a stream meanders through the valley Before the leaves turn crimson and gold Watch the birds flying over the valley Breathe in the pure air Take time to realize inner peace and do not heed angry words of war A lone voice calls out for peace Swords will be beaten into ploughshares in the not - too - distant future
