Amish People

Simple
people who love
God, family and neighbor.
Progress is never considered
without consulting their church councilmen.
Everyone lives by their church faith
upholding Christian rule
and living life 
Simple

So much truth in your words. If only more people lived by their Christian principles, the world would be a better place. Nice use of this challenging form. Best wishes in the contest. Thank you for your kind comment and birthday greeting. Have a good weekend. Karen
