Key for Peace

It often has wondered me,
Precisely how it can be;
Why wars will not cease,
Allowing us live in peace.

For by God and His grace,
We are truly all of one race;
Even if different color skin,
We are still the same within.

Mankind has an advantage,
Being made in His image;
Reason to be one in His eye,
But His desire we ever defy.

I know we do not think alike,
And not nearly being a psych;
But patience is of the essence,
To find favor in His presence.

We must tolerate one another,
Same as a sister or a brother;
Looking at their point of view,
Cordially each day through.
