The Old Man's Possession

peace can be yours and mines possession It's found in the littlest of things a warm smile or an act of good will these are priceless for the peace that it brings there was an old man who had little money safe to say he barely got by but he gave so much to his neighbors for he smiled, held open a door, and made faces at the babies that cried his eyes were aged and blue but they were lit with a peaceful glow sure of his steps and happy in his ways you wondered what for him made it so he didn't have many possessions he had not moved and shook the world he didn't appear to have any family he didn't take up courting a girl so why then did his disposition capture the hearts of so many? he was a friend to every man and no one knew not one single enemy he was a great man of peace for his Maker had made peace with him he accepted Jesus long ago and realized his greatest possession back then so the old man walked freely each day his message was always the same "ask Jesus into your heart, He's waiting receive peace, He knows you by name"
