"It's all in what you believe!" ~Juli (The Peacemaker)
I was reading a book called A Million Visions of Peace it's a beautiful book with children's visions of a peaceful world. "Shells are for turtles not for guns." is quoted from an eight year old child. If everyone thought like this, we would have world peace.
In honor of people like this eight year old, I present you with "I am the Peace" a page of AYNB devoted all to World Peace.
Your hate is boiling up inside,
It has no place to run and hide.
Your heart is breaking clean in two,
There's nothing anyone can do.
Your soul becomes a lake on fire,
To hurt someone is your desire.
You want someone to feel the pain,
That's almost driving you insane.
Then you look up so silently,
Into the eyes of your enemy.
And instead of ugly, mocking glares,
You see your pain reflected there.
~Martine (A Million Visions of Peace)
"My vision for peace is if everyone would think of themselves as dinosaurs and if we keep fighting we will soon be extinct." ~Erik, age 11 (A Million Visions of Peace)
"World peace starts with one person. I will start; will you help me continue?" ~Ann, age 12 (A Million Visions of Peace)
"Love"
by Katie Lennon
Love.
Its the miracle of a new life.
Love.
Its knowing that you have great friends who are always there for you.
Love.
Its writing your first beautiful poem of inspiration.
Love.
Its getting an adorable new puppy.
Love.
Its making a daisy crown on a warm summer day.
Love.
Its dreaming your future.
Love.
Its a flower blooming brightly in the spring.
Love.
Its what John Lennon was all about.
Love.
Its listening to Imagine and doing what it asks.
Love.
Its praying that perhaps one day peace will come to this world.
Love.
Its helping spread the words of happiness John once said.
Love.
Its singing a Lennon/McCartney song and thinking of how wonderful it is.
Love.
Its knowing that John Lennon's peace is still alive and will never die.
"Free to Fly"
by Katie Lennon
If America is the land of the free
Why do I feel caged?
Let me fly free!
Has the idea of peace just aged?
Let me discover a way to live free of war
Dont chain me down and hide me away
Can't you see that my thoughts are here to stay?
If America is the land of the free
Why do I feel caged?
Let me fly free,
I will fly free,
Free...free as a bird
Love
by Juli (The Peacemaker)
It all started by love:
It didnt start; It is always love,
Love is eternal,
Love is All
Love is God,
Love is Love,
All is Love,
God is Love,
Love never had a beginning; It is always love for love is eternal-always love.
Love is the answer,
And the answer was always love and will forever be.
Love is all you need,
And it always was and will forever be.
For Love is All,
Love is God,
And Love is Love.
Love can be anything you want it to be-anything at all.
Love can be anything you dont want it to be.
Love always comes before sex and will always.
Love always comes first and it will always be first. Love always comes last and will always come last-for love is eternal, It is always Love and cant be not love for All is Love and Love is All.
Love is Magic
Magic comes from Love.
There was no beginning and there shall be no end.
Love goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on

Message From Within
by Sandra Harrison
Turn off your power; you won't need it here
Just a kindly spirit and those you hold dear
Go lose your mind, it won't be of use
Contact your senses and let yourself loose
No objects required to have a little fun
Go do what you please, get up with the sun
Spread words of peace, and not those of hate,
Go say, "I love you" before it's too late
Go get your senses, if they need to connect
Speak of your mind, feelings will eject
Sing from your soul, speak from your heart,
Trust in your gut, get ready to start
Innocence of youth, smiles divine,
You can't just know, it takes so much time
Sing from your youth, speak with your voice
Be free or in chains it's all but your choice
Talk about love, and not about greed
Go wrong; yet right, from flower to seed
"PEACE IS JUST A DREAM UNLESS WE DO SOMETHING." ~Steve, age 10 (A Million Visions of Peace)
