That Which Brings Me Peace

A child innocent,
An orchid florescent;
The sun in the sky,
The vast milky-way;
The earth benevolent,
Sea elements abundant;
My own heartbeat,
My mind’s wisdom-seat;
Mindful meditations,
Breath’s fluent expansions;
All these give me peace…
Yet not like the one I experience,
When I see a smile on someone’s face,
Because of my very presence and loving service!
