The Way to Peace

When you feel your heart is about to break

And tears at night keep you awake

And dreams of what might once have been

Invade your mind 'till you could scream,

THEN CRY.

Cry out loud, release the pain

And ask of God to live again,

There is a light within the gloom

To lead you to a warmer room,

THEN PRAY.

Pray that you may warm to life

And rid your heart of pain and strife

And pray that you may wear a smile

And each new day seem more worthwhile

THEN LOVE.

Love yourself that you may find

An inner strength and peace of mind

And look at life through eyes of love

And then give thanks to God above.

THEN PEACE.

What is the best gift one can have for his birthday?
I'd say PEACE! You wish that it could come to your life at a blink of an eye. I guess that could happen but oftentimes it takes a journey. May the way lead to Peace.
