Peace

A soft, caressing breeze
On a warm summers day;
A child's gentle laugh,
Their spirit full of play;
A sound of peace
Even on the worst of days.
The dewy green grass
Found beneath my feet,
The clear blue sky
So far above my head,
Almost the way I pictured heaven.
Heaven,
My last chance for peace,
My last dying wish,
A wish that will only
Fail to come true.
