Analysis of When Peace Comes
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
When one's peace comes received.
To remember not to forget about.
And never to expect it.
Kept remembered not to forget about.
All doubts about peace leaves.
Remembered not to forget about.
Where one was and how it came to be.
That peace kept to believe,
Remembered not to forget about.
Stress to have and suddenly go.
No longer on one's face to show,
Up it goes and away it stays that way.
When peace comes to receive.
It leaves...
One feeling relieved.
When one's peace comes received.
To remember not to forget about.
Gone are other's issued shared.
When peace comes to receive.
To remember not to forget about.
Gone too are worries carried on one's back.
As if to rinse them down a drain.
As if to rinse away every complaint.
When one's peace comes received.
It matters not what others may think.
When a peace comes to receive,
All those troubles thought to double up...
Fade.
All their troubles thought to double up...
Fade.
Into the winds.
Fade.
Into the winds.
Fade.
And never again,
Return to stay.
To have one doubt about,
The power of peace kept to keep it!
Kept to keep their peace.
Kept to keep their peace.
Kept to keep their peace.
Without a doubt its theirs to keep it!
