Peace Is Knowing

Peace is knowing
whatever you do,
you’ll have a friend close by,
knowing someone really cares
whether you laugh or cry.

Peace is feeling
right about
the thing that you must do,
knowing that it will work out
the way it is supposed to.

And peace is
falling fast asleep
although your world is tumbling,
and waking with the power you need
to keep the world from crumbling.
