The Sun Will Shine Brighter

The Sun will shine brighter tomorrow when
We treat one another civilly again...
When kindness, courtesy and grace
  ~ Once more ennoble our race...

The Heavens will smile pleasingly when
Men and women guard their tongues and their pens...
When modesty trumps 'fashionable nudity'  
  ~ And the latest style on the rack is humility.

Such a beautiful wish. Congratulations on your win! A fave. It's good to know people already living this way. You didn't write some pie in the sky thing. :)

Your excellent poem makes me think of recent news reports on the shocking increase in diagnosed cases of depression during the last 20 years. Janice

There you go!...Now just don't get depressed thinking about that recent news report...In fact, as Luke Bryant sings in "I Believe Most People are Good," 'I believe that if you just go by the nightly news, your faith in all mankind would be the first thing you lose." … Thank you for the visit, Janice, and for your kind words. :) gw
