I Believe In Peace

 
"Come to me, all you who are weary and 
burdened, and I will give you rest."

                                Matthew _ 11:28

In nature ... I dwell in my peace,
and seek God and Christ in my meditative prayer;
I believe both nature and faith can heal my soul,
my gift of words and art is a release.
Can you see Lord?  I give you my thanks with a tear,
and I find my calm in a quiet stroll.

I called out afraid and Christ took my hand,
and this gesture and peace I wish to share;
my peaceful nature makes me whole,
my faith gives me the strength to fight and stand;
tranquility my goal.
