Perhaps when the dog stops barking
Everyone can finally go back to sleep
And dream of sweet repose in quiet
Communities with no reason what-
Ever for watchdog to howl. all. night.
_______
People want peace, of course, but seems
Everyone wants peace on their own terms
And at the expense of others’ peace. I mean,
Can’t we all just love one another? No, it’s
Every man/woman for himself/herself…myself
_______
Politics haven’t succeeded in lasting peace
Even psychology disagrees over peace of mind
And most of us want a bigger piece of pie, yet
Christmas child, Prince of Peace, reconciles
Each one who believes, as a child, with God.

Peace…the peace that passes understanding…peace definitely isn’t arguing or harming, is it? Indeed the Prince of Peace who loves us all.

Peace to you, Toni.

What a wonderful acrostic, Lynn, and so full of truth. Great title–serious thoughts mixed with a light touch.
Dec 09, 2015 @ 14:45:55
Thank you, Victoria…I’m glad you like the title!

I enjoyed your acrostic approach. Ah, if anything politics causes more dissension than peace. Sigh.

Politics is messy…
Dec 09, 2015 @ 07:46:29
odd, that even after reconciled with a god, peace does not win
Dec 09, 2015 @ 10:45:59
God wins one heart at a time…

Aphorisms can supply a life of comfort — may they suffice.

Ah yes, sadly politics all around the world plays its part in disturbing our peace. If only we could put a stop to it. Beautifully penned 🙂
Lots of love,

I like the different takes on peace ~ And how ironic that we want peace on our terms ~ The last one is my favorite with these lines:
Christmas child, Prince of Peace, reconciles
Each one who believes, as a child, with God.
Thanks Lynn and wishing you happy week ~

…and a blessed Christmas to you, Grace.

I love the thought…peace on everybody’s terms is impossible… and compromise has never settled well… compassion… and in the whose god? lot of thoughts for me Lynn

We have to come as a child…
