Peace - the Noblest Goal To Work For

Peace is not just the absence of war
  Peace is the noblest goal to work for  

Peace between mother and father, sister and brother
  Peace between friends and strangers, and all the others

                 ***********
Consider Aaron, the High Priest of Old
  Who brought enemies together, so bold

To love peace, to pursue it, was Aaron's creed
  Love of his fellow man, his greatest deed

He was Moses' older brother, yet humble, down-to-earth
  His burning quest for peace the measure of his worth 

               ************* 
Peace needs step aside for Truth, some say
  I say, True Peace ~ for Truth lights the way

Amen to that. Great example using Aron juxtaposed to his bother, the leader, Moses.

Aaron would have been the name if we had ever had a son, but we never did. For exactly his reason! Thank you for the reminder, my friend, of why.
