Poem

Peace Will Greet You



Simple joys bring laughter
healer of the soul.
Every life's a journey
to make a person whole.

As we venture forward
our destiny unknown.
We may trip and stumble
until wisdom brings us home.

Yes we'll make mistakes
and questions will unfold.
Answers, like a hunger,
feed your starving soul.

One day
peace will greet you.
Then you'll know
you're home.

Benita Smith Richards

and I get paid for it
