A
Peaceful Place
There must be a beautiful morning somewhere
A dawn lit by justice and judgment is fair
A place where a helping hand is held out
An ear that will listen stands poised and devout
A place you can go when your heart needs
attending
A place where a spirit gets healing and
mending
A place where love's fire burns bright day
and night
And in from the cold you may warm by its
light
There must be a brilliant evening somewhere
Where the sun finally sets on pain and
despair
Where the coming of night is not filled with
grief
And comforting sleep brings you joyful
relief
A place where the sunset is apt to reflect
A day without malice, without disrespect
A place where the only tears shed, are for
joy
And a heart is not battered and bounced like
a toy
There must be a wonderful day somewhere
In a place filled with love and a great need
to care
A place where the burdens of conflict are
lifted
Where love is a skill and all lovers are
gifted
Where daily are spoken the words that
support
And every mistake is not met with retort
A place where the land has not soaked up the
blood
Where honor and truth are not cast in the
mud
A place where the children are not left
alone
Where Sisters and Brothers may come to atone
Where homeless and helpless don't cower in
fright
Where the hearts and the minds of the world
can unite
So you set on a journey to seek out this
land
With compass and map and a vision so grand
To find peace and comfort in a world that's
so new
Where waters are crystal and skies are so
blue
With showers that cleanse and winds that
refresh
Where the spirit is fed and not just the
flesh
But search as you may, what you'll find to
be true
That it cannot be found, until it's found
within you.
