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

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.
