Y// Peace, Our Greatest Gift Poem by Aufie Zophy

Imagine the world in Peace.
Let there be some silence,
only the breeze.

Thinking only peaceful thoughts
or no thoughts at all.
Peace is here now, just enjoy

Peace, peace, peace.
We bathe in it.
Peace, peace, peace

Peace, a natural state,
a gift of our God
but sometimes we kick it out.

Our small self, our ego,
thinking the world is not fair
Peace gone

Our small self, our ego,
talking harshly instead of full of love
Peace gone

Our small self, our ego,
feeling hurt about almost everything
Peace gone

Our small self, our ego,
thinking we are better than the rest
Peace gone

But the gift keeps coming back
Our God keeps giving it to us
day by day by day

One day we will accept it,
choose friendliness and kindness
no matter what

Peace will be ours
and we will spread it to those around
and they will spread it too

No need to wait for tomorrow
Let us start today

A wish from me
of peace to you
of peace to your family
of peace to your friends
of peace to your colleagues
of peace to your world
of peace to our world
of peace to the world
