Ingredients for Peace

Chop up wonder and hope
Sprinkle love and compassion
Add a pinch of trust
And blend them together
Serve it to the world of life

---Vivian Truong

Peace

Churn and sweeten our love
Obtain trust
Crack the egg of life
Build a castle of peace
Boil away war

---Cian Chew

Ingredients for Peace

Boil some happiness till its golden bright
Pour in love and stir in care
Blend Imagination with harmony
Then sprinkle compassion
Cook freedom until it dissolves
Season hope and toss in friendship
Mix it all up
Serve it in a big bowl full of life
To finish, garnish with obedience.

---Lonny Dara

Recipe for Peace

Cut war and melt
it into freedom
Combine love and
trust to make hope
Crack the egg of imagination
and find the surprise
inside that will help you
water your anger
and keep your family
close to friendship in the plate of harmony.
Communicate the recipe
so it can travel
and squeeze freedom
out of war and
serve it to the
world.

Dear Sharon,

I love the poem. Many love it too.

When I introduce it to all iEARN-Japan members, one of them,Mr. Takano who is working at school in Kynia, was very impressed and is asking me if he can introduce it to other school organization he belongs to.
Can I say, "yes" to him, Sharon?
