Peaceful pieces

Peaceful Pieces: poems and quilts about peace by Anna Grossnickle Hines (Vibrant visuals and heart touching poetry)
Peace sign poem
Peace
When you say the word
peace peace peace
even without thinking
peace
what it means
peace peace peace
it shapes your mouth
peace peace peace peace peace
into a smile
Peace


Peace: a recipe

Open minds-atleast two
Willing hearts-the same
Rinse well with compassion
Sir ina fair amount of trust
Season with forgiveness
Simmer in a sauce of respect.
A dash of humor brightens the flavor

Best served with hope.
