The past few years, I've posted an original poem for/about Peace. And this year I'm continuing that tradition. The poem this year is inspired by the 2016 theme: "Building Blocks for Peace." And since it turned out that my new graphic seemed to go well with that theme, I will include it here again as well.
And now to the offerings for this year:
Building Blocks For Peace
Peace is
built one block at a time
The world is
waiting for yours
Form the
sides from finest wood
Season them,
sand them,
Join them
securely,
Apply a
finish to the surfaces
That will
withstand seasons of trial
From natural
or man-made forces
Carry it to
the collection as carefully as you would a dove
Leave your
contribution with a prayer for its use
In building
Peace
From a solid
foundation of these supportive blocks
There is a
space waiting just for yours,
Since we
need Peace now,
We need
Peace forever
