The Gift of Peacefulness - Tetralogy Part 3

And finally, of Peacefulness we sing,
The gentle solace that its presence brings.
From Latin pax, a pact, a bond, a vow, 
A harmony that lives and breathes right now. 
It is the end of conflict, war, and fear,
A world where every voice is held so dear.
In Hebrew tongue, it is the word Shalom,
A sense of wholeness, of a spirit home. 
It is not just the absence of a fight,
But a deep well-being, bathed in holy light.
Peacefulness is justice, truth, and grace,
Reflected in a kind and open face.
It is the blessing that the angels gave,
A gift of love, this side of the grave.
