Pessimism
Gloomy predictions
Tossing them out
Believing in brighter tomorrow

Temptation
Refrigerator’s pleasures

Winter’s dormant, gray months
Nature taking her break
Gathering strength for spring
Life’s welcoming handshake
People face frozen times
Seeking spirit’s rebirth
Darkness returns to light
New season blesses earth
Summer’s shining moments
Nature’s blooming color
Autumn’s blessed pause waits
Hourglass sand grows smaller
Happiness seeks to shine
Hope filling eager hearts
Spirit nurtures man’s faith
Risen Lord, life restarts
Through nature’s creation
Breathing with perfect poise
Order to life itself

Life’s transition wakens
Rising sun shares reasons
Joy, sorrow, gain, or loss
Renewing fresh seasons

“We the People” drafted
Constitution crafted
Forefathers build nation
Democracy’s station
Living in common cause
Unity never pause

Finding means to agree
America’s ship sails
“We the People” prevails
World War II fought and won
Nation working as “One”
Sacrifices show pride
Freedom’s devoted ride
Imperfect union lives
Unselfish people give
What’s happening today?
Are we losing our way?
Debating common sense
Rhetoric becomes tense
Choosing “Me” over “We”

Reverent morning prayer—
Kinship with our Lord
Take each perfect gift
