If you can be anything be a peacemaker
I spent the weekend deep in fever and soaked in herbal tea. What resulted was a small thought about making peace. After several attempts at writing them down, the best I could do was this feeble effort at a poem. Still, it’s a look into my heart for this uneven and heated election season. This is a sort of love poem for those who claim Jesus. I hope you feel my love and hope in these small thoughts.
If you can be anything
Be a peacemaker.
Make peace
The way your great-aunt
Made chocolate pies.
Light and sweet.
Make peace
The way your grandpa
Made rocking horses.
Strong and sturdy.
Make peace
The way your child
Makes birthday cards.
Shiny and pure.
Make peace
The way your God
Makes each day.
New and lovely.
If you can be anything
Be a peacemaker.
And you will be called
Children of God.
