Where Is Peace?
by Fiona Halliday
We can find peace in the laughter of a friend,
In the sweet songs of nightingales,
In the sound of rain on the windowpane,
In knowing God’s love never fails.
We may find peace in a favourite story,
In a loved one holding our hands,
In the smell of freshly baked bread,
In a sunset’s warmth on the sands.
We will find peace where we least expect it,
In the snow’s cold, or on a windy day,
In the taste of sprouts at Christmas —
Knowing Jesus loves us every day!
