Appreciate Not Slate

So many lifestyles, So many 
groups 
People being judged like a 
cover of a book
Let's shed one last Tear and 
Appreciate we're here
For tomorrow's  never 
promised which to me now is 
clear

People blessed enough to still 
be on earth
An attitude of gratitude should 
globally burst
Let's learn not to hate, teach 
each other to forgive
United as one, how God 
intended we live

So many life-styles indeed. It's these styles like a jigsaw have to intertwine. This equates to a perfect world, and why not, it's only US humans who dictate and disallow it. Nice write my son = smiles 4U keep writing xx

Liam, Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will find much delight, in reading and in time become familiar with your way of writing. But, for the mean time, I will greet you with the same smile, other poets passed when I first join the soup 4 years ago. I wish you the best when it comes to your poems. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you like. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND". Hugs* SKAT
