Let It Begin With Me ღ KKD ღ

A Poem by Donna DeLong Matthews aka Gold Pen Ghost

Let There Be Peace on Earth
and Let it Begin With Me




 

Let me remember
That it is not my place to judge others
Therefore I not be judged


Let me not look
at the color of the skin
or the clothes worn
or the house lived in
Allow me to openly search
the contents of the heart.


Let me not just talk the talk
but show me how to walk the walk


Let me keep an open heart
Even with the risk of it being broken.


Help me to remember it is better
to have loved and lost than
to have never loved at all.


Let me be a good person
So I can be a good friend,
parent
grandparent.


Let me do my part
to work for peace
With in the home,
With in the country
and most importantly ...
Let me do all that I can
to bring Peace on Earth
And I know that it must begin with me.

I think this is brand new to me and I didn't think I had missed anything
you have written. What wonderful visions and if everyone could find
a way to truly wish and do these things you have so eloquently
mentioned this world in which we live would be a much more
beautiful place to live. Bravo

Merry Christmas!
