Wishes

I think of this past years sorrow This world can't take much more I'd wish for a gentler tomorrow One that's softer than before A wish for a life of contentment An equal amount of joy and pain A world with a lot less resentment An even amount of sun and rain We need a better understanding For all cultures,religions,and races All others to stop the demanding All are different,in different places 4th place So no wishes for world peace None for wealth or true love Just take away some unease That'd be my wish from above Contest ; what are Wishes Sponsor: Chantelle Anne Cooke 1/15/2020

4th place / So no wishes for world peace/ None for wealth or true love/ Just take away some unease/ That'd be my wish from above/// well penmanship...

Thank you! I decided that wish because for every good comes bad so just wishing for a bit of ease sounded best! ;)

You are definitely not greedy, Brenda! Your first stanza will do me fine; I know from experience that it is no use asking for too much! Let's drink to a gentler tomorrow. ~ Warm regards // paul

Wishful words Mistress Poetess...but we must not forget that we may never all think the same or hold the same ideals or virtues. Perhaps, for now, we should celebrate our many differences...and let us most fervently hope that the more barbarous kind can start to realise and embrace that also. With much fondness. :) john
