My peace is for you to live a life extraordinary

An entry in the 2015 Rivers Award
for Writing on Peace & Harmony
Dedicated to my two daughters
Protect your person
Like I protected your innocence
It cannot be bought with flattery
Nor sold cheaply in a moment
If you like a man
As I did your mother
Bring him to the house
Don’t go someplace else
Stand for peace and justice
As I read to you from the Book
Those who work for peace
They’ll be children of God
Be of service, like the PNG Dames
As I told you about their lives
Theirs are lives extraordinary
Kekedo, Taylor and Kidu
Believe in something
Like I believe in a Designer
Life and all we see
Happen for a reason
Be womanly and honest
As I want you to be
You’ll gain respect for truth
And esteemed beyond your critics
Live an extraordinary life
As I know you will
For I have done my part
And now the world awaits you
