Peace, Love and Dream

Peace makes the earth green

Love warms human blood

Dream paints the sky blue

Peace is the root of love

Love is the flower of peace

And Dream is the fruit of peace and love.

***

Because of love

Because of love

We have the breath of life

Because of love

Our families then become a harbor

Because of love

Our hearts are not so hard any more

Because of love

Money is no longer our master

Because of love

Church is not merely a cold building

Because of love

The cry of abandoned orphans tears people’s hearts Because of love

The fires of war then become beautiful fireworks Because of love

The wandering souls then find their destiny

Because of God’s love

We have the expectation of eternal life.

Love Prevails over Hate

Freezing wind of hate

Gusts out from cold blood.

And hatred breeds from frozen hearts. People like angry animals

Fight against each other

A voice from Heaven echoes

My lost sheep,

Come back to me

You will have love and peace

 Oh! The love from God

Like sunshine in the winter

Lights up the darkness of peoples’ hearts

And dissolves the ice of selfishness.

People return to the Kingdom of God

Filled with peace and joy

And Love each other

Just like brothers and sisters

Oh! The power of love

So intense as burning fire

Melts the iceberg of hate.

And light up the kindness in our hearts

***

Peace of Mind

Peace of mind

Like the serene blue sky

Covers the hurry and scurry world Peace of mind

Like a patch of green grass

Holds birds and kids together

Peace of mind

Like a cup of cooling water

Puts out the fire of people’s heart

Peace of mind

Like a white angel

Values wisdom rather than weapons

Peace of mind

Like a mercy dove

Weeps for the suffering of people from war

Peace of mind

Brings peace to the world.

***

Some Maxims

When the power of love surpasses the energy of selfishness,

Peace will reveal itself to the world.

Human world are advanced by creativity, order and kindness, not by force.

Life owes you nothing, but you can own life.

A beautiful idea is more beautiful than beauty.

There are too many artists to entertain the world,

But too few artists to inspire the world.

Humanity is —you treat everyone, regardless of race, color or nationality with kindness and dignity as your brothers and sisters.
