Dear Ada and IFLAC members, sending you a poem. I hope you like it…keep up the good work…sohail PEACE

There is inner peace and there is outer peace

There is emotional peace and there is social peace

There is religious peace and there is political peace

There is local peace and there is global peace

These are all different colors of peace

And we need all these colors

To create a rainbow of peace.

Sohail
