Peace begins with me

I may never be as loyal as those men marching in twos,
I may never be as brave as them lying in the trenches,
I may never represent my country with such fearless feelings,
I may never fell the pain they felt when the bullet hit,
But I can make a change because peace begins with me.

If no one tries to make a difference than the world can never be settled, Peace is something that takes time and a team effort, no one alone can make peace.
But if one person makes a change in the end it will make a difference,
I will make a change because peace begins with me.
