Why should peace be so illusive?
Why are we struggling for air?
Loving hearts can be instructive;
Listen to the lesson and share.

Tranquility is inside us,
If only we will seek to find.
Outer strife is superfluous,
If to each other we are kind.

So let peace inside resurface;
Seeking the light, warmth and fresh air.
Time and effort are not worthless,
To Earth and brethren, show you care.

When living for today, taking nothing for granted,
loving and sharing, our views won’t be slanted
