May Peace be Upon YouA Poem by Mark Hurlin SheltonMay 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.
