Peace

Description:

Peace to you, Peace to all as Christ used to call at His students.
Peace is not a romantic idea. It is a universal value.
For me it is Respect,
for me it is Love.
Peace is sunny Sundays and festive meals,
the carefree summer holidays.
Waking up in the morning for school, for work, our daily routine!
The serenity of sunset, the summer evenings,
the cheerful colours of the sky on a spring day,
the children s laughter playing carelessly in the streets,
the chipping of the bird,
a mother s embrace.
Peace is to dream, to hope to make plans for the future.

And suddenly the war comes and plunges you into a nightmare.
Our world experienced two world wars, but never world peace.
Somewhere on earth there are canons roaming.
Some time ago in Cyprus…
Not so long ago in Syria…
And now in Ukraine…
And tomorrow who knows where…. Maybe there is war everywhere.
And from blissful harmony we are led to chaos…
wounded faces, demolished houses, queues of people that leave their places, crammed into trains, into the wrecked boats…
along with their dreams and peace…
…Which quickly will rise again…
Because Peace is meant to be a fighter!
