"PEACEFUL MOMENTS"

The simple things in life are free;
The sounds of nature; a beautiful flower;
All the things we are blind to yet see;
We take for granted each passing hour;
A gorgeous sunset; a star-filled night;
It's more than a dream in its delight;
The feeling of peace that comes from within;
The meaning of life all over again;
Just to stop and stare around,
Can make your world much more sound;
An endless journey into your soul,
Giving you strength and making you whole;
We need these moments that quickly pass;
These peaceful moments of happiness;
Makes us search within our hearts;
Makes us want to play our parts;
They say that life is just a stage;
A place to wander; a place to rage;
Filled with laughter and hidden tears;
Hiding the truth that fills the years;
Is it fate, or is it real;
Is it more than we can feel;
Like an ocean with infinite space,
Or a memory you cannot erase;
Like a vision that's not really there;
But it makes you think and makes you care;
For it is faith that keeps us free;
It is hope that makes us see;
And when the answer comes in our minds;
We can thank God for his heavenly signs.
