Tonight is the second night of the fourth Passover and this Sunday the fourth Easter, during the Iraq War, and other looming crises throughout the region and world....Perhaps the words of this 13 year old child are worthy of recalling.... Paint Box
Each color glowing with delight.
I had a paint box with colors
Warm and cool and bright.
I had no red for wounds & blood
I had no black for an orphaned child
I had no white for the fate of the dead
I had no yellow for burning sands
I had orange for joy and life
I had green for buds and blooms
I had blue for clear bright skies
I had rose for dreams and rest
Then I sat me down - and painted
PEACE
