Looking For Peace



So much running through our minds.
Trying to survive these hard times.
The state of humanity isn’t kind.
Dealing with the rise of all this crime.
People are filling the struggles.
So they fade away back into their bubbles.
The world that we’re in is not safe.
Everyone is wanting a better place.
This torment we don’t want anymore.
Because peace is what we’re looking for.

A lot of us just want to get away.
We want to have a relaxing place to stay.
It would be nice to have a vacation. Somewhere without our crazy situations.
Dealing with all this can get you depressed.
There should be some type of outlet to deal with our stress.
Don’t forget your much needed rest.
The sun will still rise from the east to the west.
Sometimes we stare quietly looking at the sea shore.
Because peace is what we’re looking for.

Let us take time to sit back and reflect. Don’t always do for others but yourself you neglect.
There’s no shame to have someone help you.
Just remember you have to put in work too.
Don’t forget to take time to pray.
The Lord hears what you have to say.
Staying thankful in every little way.
Have hope that things will get better one day.
Crying out to God knocking on his door.
Because peace is what we’re looking for.
