Poem by Helen Steiner Rice 

From her book called 'Daily Stepping Stones'

Peace is not something you fight for
With bombs and missiles that kill,
Peace is attained in the silence
That come when the heart stands still...

For hearts that are restless and warlike
With longings that never cease,
Can never contribute ideas
That bring the world nearer to peace...

For as dew never falls on a morning
That follows a dark stormy night,
The peace and the grace of our Father
Fall not on a soul that's in flight

So if we seek peace for all people
There is but one place to begin,
And the armament race will not win it
For the fortress of peace is within.

Written by Helen Steiner Rice

Let the Sun Shine In 

My Original Poetry  

These are some poems that I wrote when I was in my late teens, many years ago! Thank goodness poetry never gets to old to read or inspire us!

Written by Shelley J. Kuhn

Sunshine

Rays of sun, beam from above
God is sending us his love
It warms the earth and makes things grow
Gives our lives a special glow
Makes green grass greener, flowers bloom
Adds some sparkle to a room
Puts a smile on a dreary face
Cheers us on to win the race.

The Sun

The sun is shining all around me
See the beauty that it brings
It adds a twinkle to the water
It makes the birds want to sing
See the fragrant flowers blooming
The trees are standing tall and green
The grass is growing, oh so lovely
The sun gives life to everything.

Song Lyrics - He's Everything to Me 

I seem to be taking a journey down memory lane. As I was trying to fall asleep the other night this song came to me, I can't believe I can still remember all the words! This was a song that I learned as a young girl when I went to a girls club called Pioneer Girls!

Psmalm 19:31 "The heavens declare the glory of God"

He's Everything To Me

In the stars His handiwork I see,
On the wind He speaks with majesty.
Though He ruleth over land and sea,
What is that to me?

I will celebrate Nativity,
For it has a place in history,
Sure, He came to set His people free,
What is that to me?

Til by faith I met Him face to face,
And I felt the wonder of His grace,
Then I knew that He was more
Than just a God who didn't care,
That lived away out there
and .....

Now He walks beside me day by day,
Ever watching o'er me lest I stray,
Helping me to find that narrow way,
He is everything to me.

To Everything There is a Season 

Ecclesiastes 3
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace
