There are many people in our world...

     People at work...

People at parties...

     People in crowds...

People in checkout lines...

     People traveling...

People staying put...

In 2023 there are more people...

     People everywhere...

People needing help...

     People helping...

People laughing...

     People crying...

People that are poor...

     People who have money...

People telling lies...

     People telling the truth...

People who believe the lies...

     People who believe the truth...

People who do not know...

     Know what to believe...

Liars and truth tellers are both powerful...

     Each sound so honest...

Who do you believe...

     Maybe no one is 100% right...

Or 100% wrong...

     How did this world get so...

So hard to understand...

When she was little it was easier...

     In the movies all the bad...

Bad guys wore black hats...

     Roy Rogers always wore a white hat...

She is sorry that rule has gone out of style...

People in 2023 have many choices...

     Choices can be confusing...

Too many people with...

     With too many different stories...

Stories with different facts...

     The truth is almost impossible to find...

In 2023 it is easy to believe who...

     Who we want to believe...

But that is not always a good plan...

     Sometime it is easier to just not...

Not watch the news...

     Not worry about the facts...

2023 is over half gone...

     The good news is maybe... 

Maybe that 2024 will be better...

     Better than what...

Better than 2023...

Each of us cares...

     All of us want the best...

The best for our children...

     Best for our grandchildren...

We all want a better world...

     Better for all the people...
