Hands Full of Peace Reflecting in the meadow of life Alone in the veins of tomorrow Searching for a moment without sorrow The child stands facing the beyond Along comes the early morning rain Casting the graciousness of the rainbow The sounds of water running free At the small feet of the lost child Shivering in the midst of violent storms Huddled, asking for love and warmth Tears flow freely from the innocent No arms ready to lend comfort Asleep through childhood deeply hurt The heart shattered in the wilderness Of love and truth, pondering who to trust The child grows loving all of God's creation Offering to all other humans his hands full of peace Gently comforting the hurting with empathy Forgetting all his ills he moves the butterflies Into the hearts of the lost and destitute At the strike of dawn he searches for an olive branch Calls on all angels to move the rainbows Closer to hearts they've never been before Sheltering the hurt and the poor giving them hope Offering his heart to culture love Watering the garden of peace with his tears He harvests handful of butterflies ready for flight And ribbons of rainbows throughout the night All he ever wants in return are smiles Upon the glowing faces of children That they endure no more pain and solitude That all humans recognise life's values And begin to cultivate their own hearts So as to enlarge the garden of peace and love If he has a moment left after his work is done He hopes to thank God for the care he received From one person he treasured The most important person he ever met Whose heart is so pure and so honest Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) [This message has been edited by Daniel J D (edited 08-05-2001).] |

I would pray this be a prayer (it sounds like one) I can say and truly believe, it's lovely, Daniel. " I walked beside the evening sea And dreamed a dream that could not be" George William Curtis" |
