Peace

Peace

Peace among all men is a time for lifting
our eyes to heaven and giving thanks to God.
It is a judgment that life is worth living.

Men put down guns and make beauty that is awed.
Now a feeling of warm happiness exists
and people help each other here and abroad.

All ways of worship and cultures coexists
to bring a better life for future people
in the hope that this time, harmony persists.

This begins with a desire from all wise men
to make an effort to work for peace. Amen.


The form I used is called a Terza Rima Sonnet. It has eleven syllables in each line with a rhyming scheme of aba bcb cdc, dd or one more verse ded ee. It was a little harder for me to do. Feel free to use constructive feedback.
