Peace
my mother always said, “Have peace of mind.”
but what did this saying mean?
My mind was never in distress,
why should it? I'm only fifteen.
I have no worries, no bills, no job,
I'm at peace all the time.
I guess she thought my life was tough,
after all, thinking's not a crime.
So I took her advice and went all day
being as peaceful as could be.
And by the spring in my step and the sparkle in my eye,
my world seemed suddenly at ease.
The air seemed fresher, the sky bluer,
and oh my the trees!
Like jungle gyms reaching to grab the sun...
and suddenly, I could see
that peace is a self evident right,
that takes some time to find.
So to have a good life, take mom's advice,
and always have peace of mind.
