Love, Joy, Peace

Wallace Dean LaBenne

Love is the flame to vanquish hate
The ark of fond regard
Benevolence illumined
Passion, tender, unmarred
Joy is the essence of delight
The paradise of mirth
Beatitude of mortal breath
Felicity of earth
Peace is a calm, a cool retreat
The harmony of bliss
Tranquility from fear and strife
Concord sealed with a kiss
