Peace and love.
Love and peace.
True gems that can be found in our society.
Though they don’t always come naturally.
Personally, this may stem from a tumultuous childhood history.
Witnessing those near to me find love and then end up with love lost.
A dreaded cycle, that did come with a cost.

Yet these shadows won’t define my quest,
For self-discovery leads me to my best.  
I believe true love will find its way,
Even if it comes to me in a blind sway.  

For now, I will build my life with grace,
And wait for love to find its place.  
Until peace and love cease to be a fight,
And become my daily, guiding light.  

With patience and faith, I will embrace each day,
Knowing love and peace will someday find their way.
