Peace of Mind

History started a long time ago, 
but things have still have been missed. 
We should be living better then this. 
the whole picture has been left 
behind as we move ahead with time. 

Parts of the puzzle have been left in 
the wind. We have to go back and 
find them again. If we look back to all 
that has been left behind, we would the 
workings of God's creative mind. 

So many words and people are gone, 
but much was left in books, music, art, 
and song. When put together, the puzzle 
will tell how to get to Heaven instead of 
living in this hell. 

The story of love helps us become clear on how 
we got from there to here. When the lies get 
separated from the truth, there nothing 
standing there but the solid truth. 

But we have to go back to where we have 
been and go over it all once again. There we 
will find a reflection of us. To do what we can 
and be what we must, we must pick up the 
pieces of what we become; not doing it makes 
us all just dumb. 

We could be the first planet with people in 
the universe to determine if there will be 
more people and more earths. Depends 
on how and what we do. There's so much more 
that can be known, before it all is gone. 

We owe this much to the next generation; 
they are the ones who will rule the world and 
its nations. If they are lost, so we will be too-- 
in a lost world we never know what's true. So I 
hope, somewhere in my time, we stop and 
look behind. In that, we all will find peace of 
mind.
