The Blanket


Peace is like the blanket covering the world
What protects us and gives us hope
Floating over children’s heads
Invisible as air, but calming

Peace could be anything
A friendship that’s so strong
it will never be torn
or just a simple smile 
that makes the blanket grow

Sometimes the blanket rips
And a feeling of hate surrounds us
We lose our calmness and become selfish
We fight only for what we believe in

The time we need our blanket most
It is gone from above
Nothing familiar to keep us alive
This is the time when you can cry
Like a two year old child

This blanket takes a long time to sew
But it wears easily
So be careful with this blanket
It is what keeps us safe

Peace isn’t always there
But is always being repaired
The invisible blanket
In the clear night sky
