Above the Fray

Beneath a willow, children play Sun shining brightly, a fine day, Observe our lovely neighborhood So peaceful and calm, all is good Problems? We live above the fray.

I'd say that's good...live beyond the fray! It's the only way to peace these days.

I really try to do this. I fail sometimes, but it is a goal.
