Finding Peace

Peace~oh peace where do you hide, where can you be. Many times I have cried, Peace I thought you were free. In life there have been times I felt like I died, that you totally had left me. One day I prayed by my bedside, I was on one knee. I then found you by my side, you promised never to flee. You said you will always be my guide, Peace you have filled me with glee.

Peace likes to play hide and seek. Never give up though it is tricky and elusive. If we seek it sincerely, it is sure to come. Once peace comes in, joy and contentment will follow. Beautiful poem Paula.

Peace is such a wonderful feeling, Paula, yes most of us do strive to have it, give it, but also fight for it, i'm afraid we have to sometimes. Your poem is lovely, and i wish so much you have peace in your life. Harry

I can relate, peace of mind sure seems illusive sometimes. Have a nice week and peace onto you! Robert
