"Peacefulness" by Mariana

Ruth Dykeman Children's Center

Peacefulness is when
I get along with people
and when everybody else
gets along with other people too.
When other people are mad,
I can still feel peaceful
by calming down on the outside
and on the inside too.

I can calm down by being nice
and by being as soft as leaves
waving in the breeze.
And I want to help other people
calm down too,
by talking to them gently
and telling them I'm their friend.
Then the upset part flies away gently
and they feel loved by me,
and their family, and my family,
and then we all feel soft and quiet
as air
together.
