We are not soldiers.
Peace runs through our hearts.
Wars rage on regardless,
We need not take part.
Life can be a struggle
A perpetual night
But the sun won't rise quicker
If we choose to fight
So let's down our weapons
And open our arms
Become a safe haven
Of kindness and calm.
Life need not be a battle
Where we merely survive
We wait to rest in peace
We should live it while we're alive.

Penny, I love this poem. Especially, "Life need not be a battle 
Where we merely survive
We wait to rest in peace 
We should live it while we're alive."

I feel like that just, it's just facts. We should live life, while were still alive. 
That line(s) hit hard for me. 
Wonderful job. 
Thank you for sharing it!!
