For Craig Cornish's contest. Despite my writer's block I dare to enter contest but boy it's tough
So many live life as a masquerade
With guarded heart and masking face
It’s not until we lose or gain in faith
That we are pruned to grow by grace
As the year ends we regret deaths
Thinking of those passed on as left
In the old year we had the same frets
Of love, fear of war, poverty and debt
President Jimmy Carter passed today
He built homes for families his way
With community service he was great
Habitat for humanity homes built safe
New year old wishes for peace on earth
Homes for the unhoused hope is birthed
For humanity to grow kinder with gentle word
For people to be united feel loved and heard
