May Peace be Upon You

May Peace be Upon You

A Poem by Mark Hurlin Shelton

May Peace be upon you
  tread soft on the ground
May we spread peace-
  May it fall all around

Peace be upon you-
  To your fathers and mothers
Peace be on your cousins your uncles and brothers

Peace be on the sinner
  Peace be on the stranger
May peace forever win you
  And keep you safe from danger

May peace be upon you
  Like drops of light rain
May peace wash you new
  Till you cease from all pain

Peace to our children
  Through all generations
Peace to the people
  Of all lands and all nations

Peace to the lost and peace to the lonely
   Peace to the fearful
May Peace find them only

Peace to the Believers and the non believers
  A Peace that is true
can never deceive us.

Peace be to Buddha and Mohamed and Christ
   May peace pave the road
To Paradise

  Peace be on your home
 Your workplace and schools
   May peace be upon you
May peace be the rule-

  Peace in your community
Peace in your land
  Peace on your continent
Peace we understand

  Peace in Afganistan and peace in Syria-
Peace In Iraq
Timbuktoo and Bolivia..

Peace in Paris, In London, and Cork
   Peace at Ground zero,
Trade  centre New York.

Peace upon Cairo and on Istanbul
  Peace in Nairobi and Peace in Kabul

Peace be upon Gaza,
  And peace upon Zion
Peace to the lamb
  And peace to the Lion

Peace be upon Mecca
  And Jerusalem
And goodwill among
  all women and men

Asalaam Aleikum
  And Shalom Aleichem

Peace be upon Russia
 and Peace be upon china
  Peace we desire
No thing can be finer.

Peace be upon your friends
  And Peace be on your foes
May peace fill you up
  From your head to your toes

Peace be upon Buddhists
 Muslims Christians and Jews
  Peace be on your heart
May deep peace be with you
  I wish a deep peace
On the atheists too.

And peace be on your mind
  And peace fill your soul
May peace make you kind
  May peace make us whole



Peace be upon those with whom you disagree
  And peace be upon your enemy
May peace be upon yesterdays battlefield
  To a God of peace and mercy
may we surrender and yield.

And may a Holy Peace return to the earth
  Like light rain from Gods sky
Or Like an inner rebirth
May His peace fill your eyes
  May His peace bring you Mirth

Let violence not be upon you
  Nor your enemy
Nor may it be on the Aborigine
   Nor upon Gypsy , Arab
-Palestinian or Jew
May lasting peace guide you
  in all that' you do.

May peace be upon you-
  in peace let there be no lack
Peace be on all colours
  yellow, caucasian or black.

In every prayer of your heart and all that is true
  Peace be on your neighbours
And may Peace be upon you.
