A Picture of Peace

Psalm 122:6 & 7

May they who love you be able to thrive,
Peace is within your walls, spirit revive;
Two artists were hired to paint a picture,
That would depict true peace for a venture;
One painted a landscape of a mountain lake,
A tranquil scene, so calm of the eye's sake;
Tall and slender pine trees on green hills,
Such beauty of art that just sent chills;
Another guy painted a very restless scene,
A rough waterfall and jagged rocks seen;
A frail maple tree branch stretching out,
Appearing ready to break without a doubt;
On that branch was a fork that had a nest,
A very small bird was very calmly at rest;
A true picture of peace is one with belief,
The only true Heavenly Commander-in-Chief;
God does not promise a life trouble free,
But He will bring you peace when you plea;
You'll be feeling the peace flowing inside,
When you are allowing God to be your guide.
