May today’s sunshine
Come along and kiss you
Upon your cheek,
Remind you of life’s blessings,
And bathe you in its peace.
May the afternoon showers
Wash away your worries,
And may all of your troubles
Be fleeting.
May God‘s grace
Renew your spirit,
And remind you
Of His safekeeping.

This world-
Ravages my heart.
The hate,
The anger,
The war,
Blowing lives-
And families
Wide apart.
Why?
What for?
There are better
Things to focus on-
And live for.
What about
Love,
And peace,
And forgiveness?
What about
Taking the time
To understand
One another-
And what their
Story is-
In this?
Our differences
Don’t have to
Divide us.
They could be
An opportunity
To see the world
Through a different lens-
And provide us-
More knowledge,
More power,
And less fear.
We must come together
And unite as one.
With a willingness
To listen to the hurt
That comes-
With living.
We are all battling
Some kind of sorrow
That weighs
Heavily upon our hearts.
Let’s be more kind to
One another-
More patient.
Less quick to judge-
Lest we fully
Tear our beautiful
World apart.
We desperately
Need to treat each other
And our earth with more
Tender loving care,
And consideration…
And there’s no better time
To start-
We CAN change it.
What are we all waiting for?
