Love, Joy, Peace, and Hope

Love and Joy took a vacation


To see if any in the world today


Would notice if they were


Away without leave


 


They took only a small satchel each


For they didn’t think it would take long you see


For mortals to suddenly find themselves


Without the twins so joyous and fun


 


And as the years passed Love and Joy


At last met up with Peace and Hope


And the four wondered what could be wrong


With a world enamored with Hate and War


 


A world they had left years before


On vacations they thought would be very short


That lasted for decades and eras and more


And still only a few could recall the four


 


Grandfathers told their grandchildren stories


Passed down from their fathers years before


Of Love, Joy, Peace, and Hope


And what could have happened to the four

Interesting and though-provoking poem. Perhaps if they hadn't been on vacation, life wouldn't have changed so drastically. lol

On a serious note, it is up to us to instill these values in the young in ways that they can see and enjoy the benefits of taking them into their lives.

This is a sad, sad story, but true in the lives of so many. If only we had..... If only we could.....
Mankind as a whole has rejected the Source of love, joy, peace and hope. It is still available, as God is patient and still offers His peace to every individual.
Let us pray fervently that Christ will be lifted high in the hearts of men once again. He is the Light of the world!

Ann,

I wonder, too, but it lives on in the innocence of children...it's been wished out of adults. :( An excellent thought provoker you write.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Annie, I believe in Love, joy Peace and hope, they are still here in our hearts, my mission to spread this so that they will never take a vacation....I look into my three children's eyes and I see the quads...
Peace, Love, and Light, (thank you for such a beautiful poem)

It would definitely be wonderful if they returned, but I imagine grandfathers will be telling this tale for a very long time to come.

Already in my library, a message to today's "never-mind" to stop destroying the little that it's left, because in a void desert all the gold in the world won't buy you a drop of water when dying of thirst.
Excellent!
