Peace

I will come to you and ask questions
That I may know what's in your mind
I will come to you and listen to your words
That I may understand your pain

I will come to you and acknowledge your emotions
That I may empathize more than sympathize
I will come to you and hear your full story
That I may offer solutions if required

I will come to you and treat you the best I can
That I may prove myself and take away unfounded doubts
I will come to you that you may see what's in my heart
Working around with rules, never breaking nor bending


For when we speak, we are heard...
when we listen, we understand
when we acknowledge, we show respect
when favours we extend, we lift hearts and souls!

we all long for a peaceful life...peace is like a clear river...it must flow from one point to the other... Let us be the vessels Peace springs from....

For when when we speak, we are heard...
when we listen, we understand
when we acknowledge, we touch hearts
when favors we extend, we lift up souls!

How glorious it is when two hearts and soul do take the time to give each other a very peaceful togetherness bound with love and peace and serenity, like the beautiful river clear as our beautiful thoughts..

Welcome back my dear. Nice to see you.

Thanks Ken for dropping in...glad you took the time to read and comment...much appreciated. I have lived in NZ for 18yrs and only last Christmas have I managed to go visit this spring...a place I have driven by from several hundreds of times...peace and calm...were the first words I could think of...as I watched the waters ...a constant temperature of 11 degrees Centigrade come summer or winter... flowed unhurriedly! Thanks once again...and hope you had a wonderful X'mas! cheers
