Hello, Peace,
It’s been a while
Since you stepped through my door.
Can’t say I haven’t missed you.
Life without you’s been a war.

Been up late,
Excuse the bags
That rest beneath my eyes.
Your absence has disturbed my sleep
Filled with discord’s wretched cries.

You’ve returned,
And I can sleep
With your nurturing touch;
Don’t leave so soon this time ‘round.
Don’t worry, there’s no rush.

Goodnight, Peace,
I feel secure
With you back in my mind.
At least stay with me tonight.
But I won’t keep you confined.
