Whatever this year may bring I will remember
that it started in perfect harmony with a bubbling
brook that sang as it rushed over rocks
and chickadees who chortled before
taking seeds from my hand.
Whatever this year may bring I will remember
sunshine on fresh unmarked snow a
crescent moon beside Venus
in the twilight sky and the
exhilaration of a walk in crisp, cold air.
Whatever this year may bring I will remember
to find joy in simple things and take time
to dream, and learn, and give thanks, and smile
even when life seems overwhelming
and the future is uncertain.
Ruth--WONDERFUL. And just the tonic I need these days. I find myself weeping at stories of human kindness, and then I fall into despair at what my country has done. So, your words are a balm.
