Dona Nobis Pacem... There is Hope...
.jpg)
Let the morning breeze augur a fresh start
Oh, there is hope... there is hope...
God, grant thy people a way to cope...
Besieged by nature's wrath
Let mankind find the rightful path
Amidst the baffling global climate change
Sadly, humanity is also placed in war-torn range
Too many souls perish each day... all for naught!
Freedom, once suppressed, is cause for distraught
Oh, there is hope... there is hope...
Refrain from going down the slippery slope...
Pursue that which creates harmony
Embrace that which promotes unity
Accept each other's flaws
Coexistence is a worthy cause
Every man will one day learn to let go of blame...
Dona Nobis Pacem!
Indeed, there is hope... there is hope...

And yet the world is more hateful than ever. I am sad that peace seems so far out of reach. Love your graphics however.
Have a terrific day Bing. :)
sandee, i remain hopeful that one day soon we will attain the PEACE that we all so yearn...we all just have to learn to live and put up with each other...love, compassion, understanding- then this world will be a better place.♥
Nicely done as an anagram--it flows quite naturally, like a prayer. "There s hope" is a powerful refrain.
thanks for the nice words, susan♥
cute!!!!!!!!!
thanks isadora :)
There is hope indeed. Love your peace globe and anagram. Peace be with you, now and always.
I like the format you chose for this post, with words sincerely written.
Thank you for participating in "poetry for peace" on Real Toads.
Your poem reminded me of my favorite quote from Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace. "Pierre's insanity consisted in not waiting, as he used to do, to discover personal attributes which he termed 'good qualities' in people before loving them; his heart was now overflowing with love, and by loving people without cause he discovered indubitable causes for loving them." The character only came to this peace on the other side of war, though. What a strange world we live in.
Wonderful post!
Best peace blessings to you this day.

Wow awesome acrostic and message, you are very talented.
Yes, there is always hope; and your poem so well expresses that! Co-existance definitely IS a worthy cause. Thanks for sharing with Poetry Pantry today!
Your Peace globe is beautiful as well as your message.
May peace be with you.
Your Peace globe is beautiful as well as your message.
May peace be with you.
Thank you for the hopeful and uplifting message... there is hope, there is hope, and there is! What a beautiful tribute to peace. What more worthy cause is there?
I love this uplifting write of yours. The repetition of "there is hope" is effective...when we feel hopeless, or near it, it's so good to be encouraged that "there is hope!"
Bing, your globe is fantastic. So beautiful. I love your poem as well, especially the refrain of hope (after going down the slippery slope) - yes, I so agree.........lovely to see you posting again, kiddo! We missed you.
Love how you created your poem! Hopefully you are right - every man will one day learn to let go of blame!
Clever build! I really, really, like the scheme you employed.
I loved seeing "auger." Also, the move from "naught" to "distraught" was nicely done.
Your Peace Globe is beautiful.
Peace to you and yours on this Blog Blast Day and in all the days to come.
Such a beautiful Peaceglobe and poem...I am moved! Peace to you and yours!
(A link to your post will be on "Peace Bloggers Unite" later)
What a beautiful peace globe and words. Thanks for the hope you have conveyed!
Hopefully that day to let go of blame will come soon, it is surely needed. Thank you for sharing,
I love your optimism and your strength, so abundant in this piece.

I absolutely love this! The optimism, the beauty, everything. It should be posted and read every day--With hope all things are possible. Just lovely :-)
beautifully written ! we must hold onto a shred of hope!
♥
Beautifully done! And I know how tough acrostic poems are!
thanks to all of you for appreciating my post and for your kind words. ♥
Thoughtful piece. The repetition worked great.
Sweet poem.
Clever graphics and lay out.
Accepting each other's flaws is important.
But I have no hope that "every man will one day learn to let go of blame ..." and will always act cautiously knowing that is not true.
laura and sabio, thanks for stopping by.
sabio, i'm not gonna give up on that one... one day... perhaps someday, man will learn from his own mistakes and decide to stop blaming others and take responsibility. :)
Beautifully said, nice post!
Love ya,
Janet :)
Such a complete effort in this post...I really appreciate each detail that you've added, Bing.
The words evoked from the word "peace," in your acrostic are powerful.
God's blessings to you as well. ♥
love ya too, girl. thanks janet ♥
hannah, i'm glad that you like it. thanks so much. :)
Such a beautiful tribute to peace. I enjoyed visiting your blog :)
Smiles and Peace!

Bing - Not only did you build a beautiful peace globe graphically, but you also cleverly put together an acrostic poem for the day. It is a beautiful combination.
Such talent you have!
