Connie Marcum Wong Poet Acrostic

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.

Jerry T Curtis November 26, 2017 at 7:02 AM 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. Connie Marcum Wong December 2, 2017 at 6:14 AM I agree Jerry we need to dwell on the positive. Thank you! : )
