Speaking Peace

My goal today is to find a way
to say a kind word or two.
Not that this is something new.
Perhaps I’ve said a word to you?
I try to parcel out a few
to passersby and strangers, too.
No matter what you say or do,
even if you have no clue
about the value to ensue,
the words are gems of great value.
Once spoken, I must say adieu.

May peace rest upon you
and you,
and you,
and you,
and you,
and you.

Oh, and you, too.
