This certainly sums up what is in MOST of our hearts, I think. Perhaps not all, but definitely MINE. This was a great poem to read this very early Sunday morning and I am glad I came across it. Beautifully done!
Great Job!

I think you've written a very fine Minute poem for the contest
that reads very smoothly and has excellent rhymes.
Many minute poems seem forced, yours flows nicely.
and has a great message as well.
Best wishes to you
and good luck in the contest.

Comment from Susan Larson
I guess all we can do is pray that everyone's heart turns to God. Even if we allowed prayer back in the schools, even if kids are intimated into saying the words, or merely having to listen to them,it still won't change their hearts.

Thank you for the review and remarks. We don't know what lies ahead and but it is better to pray and try to look on the positive side. It can't hurt.

Thank you for the review. It may take a while but I do believe that the future will see an end to much that has made this last year so stressful.

Comment from Suzanna Ray
Dear Beth, what a wonderful way to start the New Year with thoughts like these, I think that each of us in our own way, can work to make these things happen.
They may not happen in a minute, or even a day, but by the end of the year. . . I'll pray (a lot)

Nicely done, Beth. We are all looking forward in the hope of relief from the Covid Virus. The fact it is world wide makes me question whether it will ever be contained. We must pray continuously for the end of it and for a bright new tomorrow when we can hug or shake hands in friendship. Good job, Dear. Nancy:)

Thank you for the review and comments. I didn't realize how good life was before all this started last year. We would just like to have it back the way it was.
