“Peace” A Poem by Glenn Allison

Poem written by Glenn Allison about his time in Vietnam.

Peace

Peace has envaded [sic] me, peace has escaped somewhere down the road.

I do not know where my peace will come. My soul’s peace will be with the Lord one day.

Peace on earth is lost because time is lost to me. I will have to find it in myself.

Myself is running sometimes to fast. I find a slip and fall backs me up. Where is that peace?

Death is that peace when God will call me home. Then all my memories, pain and time spent trying to prove my hurt will be gone.
