Humanity

Humble hearted humans reside Under the protective wings of angels Making sacrifices to make this world A better place, a place where No one is left out in the cold or abused, Infirm and suffering the elements, or The emotional or physical pain of poverty Yearning to keep peace for the love of humanity. 11-16-17 © Connie Marcum Wong Humanity-Acrostic Contest Sponsor John Hamilton - Second Placement *Note: I had in mind the healers, teachers, doctors without borders, nurses and caregivers of all kinds, those who are fighting to save our environment and those who donate funds to help all those in need.

Great job Connie, unfortunately Good is so seldom broadcasted and evil so well covered it can be disheartening, so it's always good to have reminders like the one posted here. Thanks for sharing and congratulation on your placement. Take care.
