Peace


Peace, dear Mother
The day is nearly over
And it takes many
to make a lifetime

You do well
the things that mould a heart
The tiny parts that
make up the eternal whole

The things of least significance
are, in fact, the most.

It's not worry and striving
that will change the world,
But cut-up apple,
a good amount of dirt
And a peaceful home.

I so love your comments! I read all of them and reply when I can. If you don't hear back, I'm lost under a mound of scraps or outside jumping on the trampoline with the kids. Jodi. xx
