Flowers of hope, growing softly in our minds <br />as we draw pictures which shall be <br />coloured <br />with rainbows from our souls. <br /> <br />Songs of peace, playing nicely in our air <br />as we sing along in humility knowing we'll <br />add verses of our own. <br /> <br />With other channels we'll discover <br />the limits of our desires, for together <br />we whisper words of love to <br />one another and pray as one <br />for peace on earth. <br /> <br />We reject the harsh tones of <br />military minds who would have us <br />kill to settle our <br />differences. <br /> <br />Instead we will hold forth with <br />the love of God who teaches us <br />to pray for one another. <br /> <br />Thoughts of joy infiltrate the <br />passion of our hearts as we paint <br />our picture with vivid love <br />to share with others <br />in this cloud. <br /> <br />We are voices, we are children, <br />trampling hatred into the dust <br />as we join in one union <br />protesting hatred <br />in our midst.<br /><br />Chris G.
