Peace is...
Peace is being quiet, relaxed, calm
It is different from yelling, fighting, pushing
Peace feels like sunshine
Floating on water
Or floating on the moon – way out in space
It is having enough food
Enough toys, enough shoes to wear
And houses to live in
Peace sounds like the crumpily sound of leaves you can jump in
Fish swimming
It sounds like Power Talk
And saying I'm sorry
Peace looks like the white clouds in the sky
Red leaves falling on the ground
Rainbows
It is sea creatures in the ocean
Crabs opening and closing their claws
Peace tastes like pizza
It is shaped like the words Peace Out
Or the peace sign
It is peace and quiet
It is a guardian angel
Peace is at the spa, in the ocean
Beside waterfalls
You can find it by trees and by the river
When you are drawing or playing with Playdough
It is in Columbia and it is in Surrey Centre
Peace is picking up soft puppies
Cuddling a hamster
Feeding a kitten
Playing nicely with friends
It is families
And being happy
Being kind
Peace is home
