Precious velvet petals
Wrapped around your heart
Feel the peace invade you
Love's journey now will start

Gently feel the soft embrace
Of beauty's glowing peace
Calm will enter quietly
As heart and soul release

Think of sky so soft and bright
With sun that feels so warm
Clouds just sitting in the air
Each one life's step now formed

Climb each cloud to reach the top
Just rest and breathe the air
Scented with the beauty of
Prayers in life we share

Rising in a sweet bouquet
These prayers in life ascend
Sitting there so way up high
Peace in life's soft blend

Gather petals in your hands
Breeze will now arise
Petals scattered on the earth
Prayer of Peace baptized.
