Charlie Smith Poet Lyric

Notes About The Poem

 

Peace Be With You

Have you brought a smile to someone's face
or soothed their pain with your embrace?
There is a song, you know the words, or do you?
It's sung by those who've felt loves touch
and know compassion can't be too much
with words by one who knows the peace is with you.
Peace is with you
Peace is with you
Peace is with you
Peace is with you

No scars are felt from tenderness
or blindness left from happiness
sing harmony with those you touch, now will you?
Spare grief with grace that shines a light
and shelters from life's darkest night
with hope that all will know that peace is with you.
Peace is with you
Peace is with you
Peace is with you
Peace is with you

Join hands and lead us all to dance
and listen hard for God to laugh
as reverence rises from your soul and fills you.
With childlike trust, bring faith and joy
that tears of regret cannot destroy,
with wishful dreams that speak of peace that's with you.
Peace be with you
Peace be with you
Peace be with you
Peace be with you



With all due respect to Mr. Cohen
Hallelujah...

CayCay Godwin October 12, 2018 at 8:31 PM I deliberately came calling on you to get a much needed Charlie-fix and you delivered big time. I imagine printing this out, large, poster style, and placing it somewhere I can easily view it daily. It is beautiful and summarizes the simplicity of spirit that underscores the complexity of humanness. Love is always the answer, and harmony always promotes love - and I love the way and form with which you delivered these truths. Poetry hugs ...
