PRAYING FOR PEACE

I pray for peace
In my little spot
I pray for peace
A lot.

Peace with siblings
He moves in and out our homes
Peace with trouble makers
Peace with neighbors
Peace with strangers

I can wait for Your peace
When it comes timely
When it comes untimely
When it doesn’t seem
To come at all

Sometimes Your peace
Grows under ground
Like longsuffering bamboo
Taking years to shoot through

Lord, You seem unhurried
Your peace stays buried
No matter how much
I water and feed it
No matter how much
I need it

So I will continue
To pray
Like a dog waiting
At the door
All day
Lugubrious as he be
Faithful may I be

May I rest in peace
While I am still alive
Not waiting til I’m dead
And when I rise
Find my enemies
Are friends even
Before I leave my bed
