A Better Tomorrow

Our yesterdays have come and gone. Today
is now- so mixed with trying times. We yearn
that our tomorrow will improve- outweigh
these negative, dire problems of concern.

Pandemic and societal unrest
are now dividing us in many ways.
The media presents facts we detest-
sad news that makes us long for better days.

We pray vaccines will end our virus fears,
and reasoned leadership, across some States,
will bring back comforts known in former years
of normal life- more welcomed, peaceful fates.

This decade started with a fresh, blank page.
Dear God, help us create a better age.
