Jim shared this beautiful poem with us at the World Day of Prayer service. We are the ones creating peace. Thanks to Jim for sharing the love in the eNews.
What If?
What if there was a call to war and nobody came?
If everyone was tired and done with this game
There would be no judgement, no guilt and no shame
But everyone was tired and done and yet no longer anyone to blame
There were no sides, no separation, no ways to divide
There were no banners, no slogans behind for our leaders to hide
So what would happen if there was a call to war and nobody came?
If we finally realized were really all the same!
Would we celebrate have a party, dance, sing and praise?
There would be no flag to rally behind, give allegiance to or raise
Just congratulations, high fives, hand shakes, bumps and hugs
All would share stories so we could understand what each person Loves
We are all unique tho different, neither good nor bad
We came to experience life here to have that negated, denied
Isn't that what's really sad?
So, let's imagine and create a time forever told
When we can sit and tell our stories; ones that never will get old
Take time to create this reality
We’re really here to simply Love
If we use our ability now connect
Send Love, Be Love, We are Love
Say YES to Love

Seeing a world of peace, love and connection.
