Peace is what this world needs.

No more bombings, hatred and greed.

No more lies and deception at anytime,

But to lift up the spirits of all humankind.

We need to encourage each other no matter what race we are,

And yes, God loves you no matter who or what color you are.

As the Beatles said, “All you need is love…”

True, all this world needs is for us to love.

What is love you say?

Well, it is not hateful, scornful, hurtful, boastful, envious, or evil.

Love is joyful, faithful, gentle, patient, kind, and peaceful.

Now we know peace is what this world needs.
