'Peace is promised' timothy r gates, 1.06.2008

Peace is promised,
someday on the by and by.
bye, bye
Love is said,
'I love you,'
'God loves you,'
and,
'We love you,'
on the by and by
bye, bye
Peace from above,
peace from outside,
peace,
lion sharing a bed,
serpent saving your head,
eagle soaring your baby to solace.
Peace is promised by others,
someday on the by and by.
bye, bye
no peace, none
to those that speak of it,
but only preach of it on the by and by.
bye, bye
Linus' blanket,
unfold it,
use it to warm another,
hold another,
shade another,
pull another in from drowning,
push another out of a auto's way;
fold it up, put it away,
ready for another day,
a day when peace is needed,
a day when passivity needs thwarted,
a day when singing,
'Give Peace a chance!'
has meaning,
again.
hi.
