Just Stating the Obvious-Contest

Each new day, the sun will shine At night the moon will glow Some folk aren't genuine Each new day, the wind will blow Babies are born Plants will grow Each new day,there’s the rich There’s also the poor It's a challenge to find a niche Each new day, there's the wise And there's the fool Unleavened yeast won't rise Each new day, there’s a time to speak A time to listen While seeming weak Each new day, there’s a crime If one does wrong They will do the time Each new day there’s joy There's also sadness A man was once a boy Each new day, there's a choice To sow love or hate With your God-given voice Contest: Just Stating the Obvious Sponsor: Brother Jacob 04/16/2021

There are many things that are obvious in this world. We take the smooth with the rough.

A very clever poem, stating the obvious is needed because many don't care to see the obvious. Well done Alexis, Hugs and Blessings, Jennifer.

Whenever there's a chance to voice your opinion, there is also an ability to improve something new, albeit having the illusion of being great. Nice poem, Alexis, Hugs and best regards.
