Peace Week

Sunday, October 7, 2007


In honor of the International Day of Peace, students at Trinity Lutheran School participated in a creative arts contest in which all entries conveyed a message of peace. Alicia Cornwell earned honorable mention with the following poem.

What Peace Means to Me

What peace means to me
is something that starts at home,
When we help out each other, where we are not alone.
What peace means to me
is also overseas
Where some are fighting, for peace between countries.
What peace means to me
Can be between you and me,
A conflict can be solved, by turning to peace.
What peace means to me
is understanding anyone,
and knowing what they really need,
is the three in one.
What peace means to me
is being able to see,
the love in the heart,
and love by you and me.
What peace means to me
is loving and caring,
it is something done,
by sharing.
What peace means to me
could be one simple word,
A word just as simple,
as love.
No matter what color, shape or size you are
everyone deserves and needs peace,
no matter who you are.
So overall peace is love,
when we have it,
we are as beautiful as a dove.
