Peace Now

Have you ever felt the need 
   For pure peace within
  A peace that surpasses
 The strong reality of sin
The peace that lets you know
      God truly loves you so
   That in spite of calamities,
You still know where your head is
The peace which makes you happy,
          even when your'e sad
Peace flowing inwardly, 
    glowing outwardly,
     when your'e mad
Peace that gives you confidence,
     regardless of life's strifes
Peace that's really peace, 
 when you sleep at night
   Peace, peaceful peace,
        Don't know how
         But I'm there now!

Thanks.. try to relax, ..take a nap..you will find that resting makes you feel refreshed because you let peace in..instead of thinking about your tense moments!.
