Poetry: Quiet Power
Quiet Power
There is a quiet power
At work in this old world,
The steady, moving force of Love,
it's flag of Hope unfurled.
There is a gentle strength released
With every kind word spoken;
The barriers of prejudice
By understanding broken.
An act of simple friendliness
Moves in where Hate holds sway,
And Love is once again the quiet
Winner in the fray.
There is a quiet power
The heart pays homage to -
The gentle strength of love to make
Man's dream of peace come true.
Helen Lowrie Marshall
