The Need of Closing Ranks

you ask me
what was this year
i say i'm thankful
blessed
grateful to be happy and alive

while others are dying
diseases
hunger
war
pandemics

is this just the start 
does our world fall apart?
i'm thankful to be safe
in a world gone mad

we can't do other
than stay full of hope
may god bless this family, my father my mother
and all our people across the globe

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
