Year of the Tiger

by Gypsy Blue Rose


for rules, please check my author notes

Peace 

on earth 

among all 

unique people 

of many races 

and different religions 

genders and social classes. 

I pray that we come together 

sharing hopes and dreams of a new year

fill with love, good health, and prosperity. 

We can beat the virus once and for all. 

We can build back better and protect 

voting rights- For the People Act. 

I may be in denial 

but it’s just my prayer 

and some positive 

thinking, my friend, 

I wish you 

the best 

year!
