A Little Peace Poem by David Harris

A Little Peace

Rating: 5.0


As I was walking slowly by
a church on Sunday morn
I could hear voices raised
in praise for the lord above.
The voices were sweet and soft,
but loud enough for the lord to hear,
as the praises they were singing
drifted through the air.
Not a single voice
was out of tune
as they sang out there.
When the voices went quiet,
a serine silence drifted down
over everything and everyone around.
God was answering their prayers
for a little peace everywhere today.

Quality work, David...I like the Sunday Morning tone you set...reminds me of going to Church with my parents....We'd walk up Mt.Joy Place, and as we did, we'd hear the chiming of the pre-Mass Church bells echoing around us, and ostensibly through me! Gave me chills, at times...Afterwards, and as you very eloquently expressed in this fine Poem, yes...there was a sacred type of silence in the air....One that spoke of Peace...Solid Crafting, Mr. Haris...

This is a very nice and wonderful piece that i would like to hold on everyday, for it is in praising that we release our faith in God. I was so overhelmed reading this, that i felt i was there also praising.Oh, thanks for this, David, so wonderfully well penned.

as i read the poem, as if I could still hear the songs of praise sung in the church this morning..Psalm 68: 32 also flashed suddenly into my mind...what a nice thought you shared to us..thanks indeed!
