The world watched and
held its breath
as two previous enemies
agreed to lay the past to rest
for once and always.
We who have grown up as
children of one war or another
prayed that this would be the
greatest miracle of all…
a sign
a beginning
an omen.
That maybe in our lifetime
the world would know…
…Shalom!
And each of us who
so cherish this fragile planet
could continue
with the important job
of making this place
more special
than we found it.
