Peaceful Advice

Go peacefully among the chaos and noise of life,

and remember silence may bring you peace.

The humble may pass through life unknown to many,

but God shall remember their guardship of peace.

Truth will come with silence and observation,

but words of others can shadow the truth.

The truth may lead to fulfillment in life,

but keep your memory of humility and truth.

Strive for the upper reaches in life,

but keep integrity within your sight.

The Lord will reward the keeper of peace,

but success may escape the one who fights.

Even in loss the spirit will guide you,

allow the Lord in defeat to lovingly carry you.

Strength often builds through our lowest times,

He never leaves us but sets us anew.

Whether you can see his plans for your life,

or if you are stumbling searching his will;

The Lord God will guide you safely through life,

and reward you with a life that fulfills
