Internal contentment
A hand shake with a smile
A hug in times of trouble
Friends you haven't seen in a while.
The calling of a truce
To end a war
Breaking the chain of a grudge
Being civil once more.
Putting an end to the conflict
Buried deep in our hearts
Carefully bringing them to surface
Dissipating trouble before it starts.
The sound of a baby laughing
Children playing on the swings
Closing your eyes to listen
To the sounds that nature sings.
A blessing from heaven
God's comforting touch
This is the peace
I've come to love so much.
The happiness within myself
Is a feeling that will never cease
This is my internal contentment
My peace.
