A POEM AND A NEW YEAR

Another year is coming to an end.

Another year is about to begin.

May the year ahead be another beginning.

Of experiencing love and loving; loving the world.

The ascent is the same as the descent.

Please, ‘Grace,’ let my passion live on.

My resilience and green growth to live on.

Vibrant until I die, knowing not when.

Peace within, peace for others.

May stories escape my tongue in ways unknown.

I pray, I sit, I ponder, I listen.

I hope, I praise, I thank you.
