Peace dances in my soul
Ruin the temple of sadness, Dance with the wind, rain with the cloud, Find the notes of love today
Be proud of the purity of your soul, God, The author of this book adorns of every page
with hardness and ease, The pen of peace writes these page, The author gives you the ray of peace
Accept it and shine with sun, flow with water, Fly from the cage of your body, Grow the tree of your heart
so that its branches caress the hearts of others, Be the dew in the flowers of kindness
God will send the melody of your sorrows, to the birds to sing the song of joy
And problems fall like autumn leaves, Those leaves are doomed to death, this world will be yours
You rule the hills of miracles, you have peace within you!
CHAN WING CHI, VINCI
What Does Inner Peace Mean to Me?
One day I asked myself, What does inner peace mean to me? Does it mean the peace inside? I’ll have to wait and see.
In one afternoon, I met a boy. I told him about inner peace. And he said “Wow, inner peace’s a joy!”
Inner peace belongs in my mind, I can always control it. Inner peace requires control, Not wealth or wit.
Whenever I’m stressed, I get angry. But I remind myself of inner peace, Huh, that is easy! Now that I’m calm and free of anger.
My anger is now a stranger. So, everyone remembers, if you’re mad, Calm down and feel inner peace, even in danger.
Inner peace is in the mind, You can feel it in your body. Go do some peace exercise. And now, I’m ready!

First place winner: Taiba Faraji
The Miracle of Love
In the temple of the world
Worship beauty and good
Love the golden seeds of peace
In your heart
Belive in the miracle of love
Swear to the morning symphony
To the dew’s note
Swear to the rain harmony
“He has not taken leave of you
Nor displeased “
Surrend your tomorrows to the creator of spring
He knows how to sew the blossoms
To the field’s folded face
(Taiba Faraj)

Preach Peace
Peace helps Kindness,
Peace helps Kids,
Peace helps The World,
So, we need to Preach Peace!
Peace is important ,
It makes people smile,
From doctors, fire fighters, teachers……and even crocodiles!
Peace makes the weather good,
The sun will be clear.
If you give out peace more,
A rainbow might appear!
Peace helps Kindness,
Peace helps Kids,
Peace helps The World,
So, we need to Preach Peace!
(Vinci Chan)
