Peace Like a River

“What makes a river so restful to people
is that it doesn't have any doubt -
it is sure to get where it is going,
and it doesn't want to go anywhere else.”

~ Hal Boyle

Peace Rose

It isn't enough to talk about peace.

One must believe in it. 

And it isn't enough to believe in it. 

One must work at it.

America, America!!

Independence Day 

The 4th of July

Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light, 

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming!

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, 

O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallently streaming!

And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, 

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there! 

O SAY DOES THAT STAR-SPANGLED BANNER YET WAVE

O'ER THE LAND OF THE FREE, 

AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE!

Sunday Serenity

The wonder of the world,

The beauty and the power,

The shape of things,

Their color, lights and shades,

These things I saw.


Look ye also while life lasts.
