To live peacefully each day

Life is crazy for millions of people. But we can make the choice for inner peace. We can choose to behave in a peaceful way. We can promote peace instead of discord. 

To live peacefully each day 
By Michelle Morris

Whispers in the night
Silence doesn't lie
Everyone has a right 
To sleep peacefully tonight 

Life is short enough 
Life is long and hard
Whatever you're going through 
Try not to be scarred 

Let the feelings rise
Let the memories flow
Let the energy go
Let your heart's peace unfold

Life is sweet sometimes 
Life is bitter often
Whatever you choose to focus on
Try to allow the positive to soften

Whispers in the morn
Silence in words we pray
Everyone has a right 
To live peacefully each day
