Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

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.

Janice Canerdy June 13, 2018 at 11:32 AM Your excellent poem makes me think of recent news reports on the shocking increase in diagnosed cases of depression during the last 20 years.
