What About Peace?
the doctor yells
young mother weeps
they see the fear in her
and in the midst
of all the pain
they try to calm this fear
where is the Peace
that doctor said
would come when he appeared
she sees it now
in one small face
a boy who has her eyes
and then his cry
brings more along
and tears are no surprise
the nurse then asks
what about Peace?
Peace is the child here
