Happy New Year

My friend and LinkedIn connection, the amazingly talented and courageous writer, Erin Winfrey, created a ten-day Gratitude Challenge for the end of 2019. The poem she published on Day Five inspired me to write this one. For that inspiration and so much more, I’m deeply …

Grateful

For each and ev’ry laugh or tear,
For all the joys that banish fear,
For all the loved ones I hold dear,
For black turned white, year after year.

For my ability to write,
For all the wrongs that love sets right,
For hope that won’t give up the fight,
For day that always follows night.

For living fully life’s chance arc,
For holding tight its fleeting spark,
For ev’ry angel’s voice we hark,
For knowing light must follow dark.

I wish all of you who read this a bright, prosperous New Year. And I encourage all of you who dare to dream to dream big.
