The wisdom of what I was told

My grandfathers told me

URSULA KIN

An entry in the 2015 Rivers Award
for Writing on Peace & Harmony

I was told
By my grandfathers
Peace is no fighting
Peace is no violence
Peace is no quarrelling
Peace prevails when you are sorry.

I imagined the colour of peace then
There is fighting everywhere
There is violence everywhere
There is quarrelling everywhere
There is no peace when nobody is sorry

I imagine the colour of peace now
I want to see, taste, smell
& hear peace.

I was told
By my grandfathers
Peace starts with you
Then harmony spreads
in your community.
