My Only Blessing Is Peace Earned

The beginning of my thanks begins at knees, Having my aches eased, or body suffused, All that comes to mind is sleep and serene. Nobody that offers bread can empty, Knives may cut meat and find platter greasy, Supper ended, dishes done, there’s always cheer. Give one for the road, one for tomorrow, Invest within self, hugs or tomato growing, Venture into unknown so what is known Is another taste that takes you back to home. Nothingness can fill everyone’s hands if home Gives back to our bodies and delivers to me peace.

With age I suppose most return to home and neighborhood. I know I do. You congratulate yourself for loving self and home. That is wonderful. I've always thought that home and neighborhood is what I'm all about. Love, daver

Your last two lines are best, The quest for peace is the ultimate truth.
