Peace Walk

If I could walk around the world
I'd take one giant step each day,
and take with me the gift of peace
to places near and far away.

I'd step into our crowded cities,
hustling, busy, sometimes wild,
with homelessness and rampant street gangs,
and gift each angry, misled child.

I'd step across our oceans wide,
climb mountains where insurgents hide,
and pass around the gift of peace ...
the joy of living side by side.

And then I'd step back home to rest,
content that I'd fulfilled my quest.
I left behind, for all it's worth,
a peaceful, caring, Mothert Earth!
