Peace Of Mind Poem by Paul Reed

I see a faint light at the end of the gloom
An opening door show the way out of this room
The smoke is still dense, but clearing
The future still far away, but nearing;

Happiness is all that I crave
To fear, not be a devoted slave
Contentment is my only goal
To come and soothe my mortal soul;

I do not ask for riches or power
In this, my most challenging hour
Just for the world to be more kind
And give me back my peace of mind.
