Where Grace and Peace Have Always Lain

Where Grace and Peace Have Always Lain

Late blossoms, cool breezes, soften the summer’s wane,
So empathy can assuage a lingering pain,
Kindness paves the way for shalom in train,
A helpful deed may open a bonding refrain,
And care for those in need is never in vain,
An enemy reconciled is a blessed double gain,
Humility may redeem even a troubled reign,
Words are easily shunned, a good life few will disdain,
Sublime it is when life is linked with the transcendent plane,
‘Tis the realm where grace and peace have always lain.

—James A. Langley
