RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: WAR & PEACE
Peace on Earth
In this moment of solemnity
As quiet comforts my soul
It seems a long hard road ahead when
Peace on earth sticks in my throat
When hope sometimes grows old
We shiver in our winter coats
We fight against the cold
Though our wish for peace is great
Our prayers are greater still
Those in the zone of war must wonder
How much our prayers are worth
Their friends and loved ones killed
They also prayed for peace on earth
As winter brought a chill
As Christmas brought a dearth
But pray for peace we must
In the winter of our darkest fears
For all the world seems hollow
Our yuletide glow seems dreary
And we would yield our winter cheer
Our songs and loving wishes
For a just and lasting peace this year
For peace on earth next year
