A POEM FOR PEACE by Earth Angel ~*~ Let's hold hands brothers and sisters Around our Mother Earth Love encircling this lone blue planet This giving home of our birth We all are brothers and sisters Regardless of creed or race Hold hands my brothers and my sisters Make our world a peaceful place Let's sing praise to our Father in the heavens Let's rejoice in our global family Open hearts with love and understanding Sharing lives in peace and harmony Let's hold hands my brothers and my sisters Let's all pray for everlasting peace May we respect and love one another May all wars forever truly cease Let's stand united as brothers and sisters As we spin through space and time Holding hands, praying together Ensuring peace for all mankind ~*~ |

A fitting tribute for ALL poets and their views. May we be blessed to see the peace we seek in our ourselves become the light that will shine into others. |

DLY ~ I agree with you in that peace does begin within ourselves. Inner leads to outer...however, that is rather disconcerting! Unfortunately inner peace is not the prevalent state of being for most of the peoples of the world. I think it is wonderful that you are asking others to join you in writing anti-war poetry. As a Vietnam War veteran, you know the true face of war--you've stared it in the eye! Warm hugs, EA |

 (big hugggsssssss)n Oh Linda, I've been joining in many anti-war rallies since the whole issue ever came up in the first place, I think Bush's decisions have become somewhat disturbing and ridiculous to me and Tony Blair being nothing but a bobbing head toy to his support and I find war honestly meaningless, I can't help but agree with Nelson Mandela's recent words! (sad sigh) This is powerful, sweet friend, I hope we can just approach this situation without bullets or battalions, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Noah, I can picture you now at one of those anti-war rallies...I bet you are known as "The Angel Among Us"! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Big, warm hugs, Linda |

IF we all hold hands, all around the globe, maybe we can reach out with enough strength to tear down all the walls of power and weaponry that threaten to destroy all of humanity. "I wanna hold your hand" re-visited. |
