What Peace Is..?
Amb Dr Marlon Salem Gruezo.
Peace is not a prize to be won
But a state of mind and heart
It is not a destination to reach
But a journey to start
Peace is not a passive silence
But an active voice of love
It is not a compromise of values
But a harmony of diverse.
Peace is not a dream to be chased
But a reality to be lived
It is not a burden to be borne
But a gift to be given
Peace is the light that shines in the dark
The hope that soothes the broken heart
The song that fills the silent night
The joy that makes everything alright
Peace is the bridge that connects the divide
The hand that reaches out to guide
The word that heals the wounded soul
The bond that makes us whole.
Peace is the flower that blooms in the storm
The rainbow that paints the sky with form
The dove that flies above the fray
The love that never fades away.
