A Bad Year Ends Today!www.thewrightauthor.com - Copyright © 2020, By Michael Wright
2020 ends today! Started out sunny and bright, Then filled with clouds so gray. Pestilence came our way. Tragedy became our plight. 2020 ends today! Loved ones passed away, What a time of fright, Filled with clouds so gray. Don't get close; stay away; Masks everywhere in sight. 2020 ends today! Fear and anger on display During this darkest night, Filled with clouds so gray. For 2021 I pray, Give us a year sunny and bright. 2020 ends today, Filled with clouds so gray.

A National New Year's Resolutionwww.thewrightauthor.com - Copyright © 2020, By Michael Wright
Let this be our New Year's resolution, And let us proclaim with true joy, That, once again, we may be under God, one nation. We have had a year of sad, serious division. Let us unite! Our nation we must not destroy. Let this be our New Year's resolution. May this new year be for us the beginning of new devotion, To find our different cultures and races something to enjoy, That, once again, we may be under God, one nation. May we find new faith in God for inspiration, So that peace and prosperity we may deploy. Let this be our New Year's resolution. And for those who find themselves in desolation, May we find them solutions and opportunities to employ. That, once again, we may be under God, one nation. May we to our neighbors show greater compassion, That tears of despair may become tears of joy. Let this be our New Year's resolution. That, once again, we may be under God, one nation. The Foods We Shouldn't Eatwww.thewrightauthor.com - Copyright © 2020, By Michael Wright
The foods we shouldn't eat. Vegetarian for me is carrot cake! Why are they such a treat? Steak and eggs can't be beat. Let me put a pizza in the oven to bake. O the foods we shouldn't eat. Why do I like so much red meat? And then there’s chocolate cake! Why are they such a treat? Would that vegetables were a tasty sweet, So, that with glee I would partake. O the foods we shouldn't eat. Resisting temptation is such a feat. So many sweets I cannot shake. Why are they such a treat? When my Maker I must meet, I'll ask why must we forsake The foods we shouldn't eat. Why are they such a treat? My Mistakewww.thewrightauthor.com - Copyright © 2020, By Michael Wright
Oh my goodness, I made a mistake. Did it on purpose, I must confess. Did you catch it for Pete's sake? Wanted to see how long it would take For people to discover my mess. Oh my goodness, I made a mistake. It didn't take long for people to awake. Many helped show me where I was careless. Did you catch it for Pete's sake? One poem's title has an error that is fake. The word "and" duplicated, an apparent excess. Oh my goodness, I made a mistake. Now this mistake gave me a break. Attracted more visitors, for me, a success! Did you catch it for Pete's sake? So, come now, more poems to partake And see if once more I must confess, Oh my goodness, I made a mistake. Will you catch it for Pete's sake? Believe in Godwww.thewrightauthor.com - Copyright © 2020, By Michael Wright
I invite you to believe in God just now. Whether you bow or scowl is your decision. But to God you should choose to bow. Doubt and contempt may raise your brow, But there is good reason for a better view to envision. So, I invite you to believe in God just now. You are reading this on some electronic device somehow. To think your device came to be out of nothing is a delusion. So, to God you should choose to bow. The vastness of the universe could not spring out of nothing somehow. Such complexity, immensity, and majesty is God's creation, Which should move you to believe in God just now. Wickedness and tragedy--why would God allow? Certainly cynicism, doubt, and despair may be your option. Still, to God you should choose to bow. Trust in God that good ultimately prevails somehow. Then joy, peace, and hope will be your realization. I invite you to believe in God just now, So, that to God you would choose to bow.
