The Peacemaker

The Peacemaker

Your innocent eyes 
Mask the wisdom behind them
Sweet tenderness
Layered by bricks
You never falter

Your longing heart 
Contends with a bridled spirit
Innocent dreams
Thickened by fog
You never know freedom

Your never-ending patience
Shields the frustration within
Calm acceptance
Surrounded by thorns
You never judge

Your unfailing kindness
Cascades over rocks and stones
Pure loyalty
Encompassed by bitter truth
You never forsake us
