I Wish That I Could Send You Peace Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

I wish that I could send you peace
Tied up with a velvet bow
Or peace, like quilting snow
Like a nearing light in the distance
When you have far to go
Or like a rippled stone
You hold in your hand
Like a talisman
In any gale that blows.
I close my eyes
I close my eyes
And pray the winter away
And pray that you will always
Find a warm place to stay
And food to eat that's nourishing
And peace in a blue green bay
And on your hardest day,
The love of God.
