It is to be in the midst of happiness.
It is to look at the person standing next to you and







smile.
It is to make the war and hate a speck in your
mind,and replace the soldiers and bombs with

loving family's and affectionate hugs.
It is to take a seed and feed it with silver drops of










sunshine,
to let it grow to be a tree that shades the helpless







and the loving.
Peace it is to be on earth with love and happiness.
