“Peace Table”
Make a table long enough
for two warring sides to sit,
serve homemade bread,
fill silver cups with wine.
Invite them to look deeply
into each other’s eyes,
see their children
and their children’s children
waiting to be born then
picture them living in peace
Urge everyone to reach across
the table, shake hands and,
like a loving God, begin to answer
the sweet-voiced prayers
of the little ones they love.
