Haiku for the New (Year)
Bubbles in my glass,
Relief in my weary soul;
2020’s done.
This year broke our hearts
Over and over, and yet
Here we are, alive!
A star coming up
Over the dark horizon;
May its light mean hope.
Life will roar ahead
In 2021, but
What will it look like?
Vaccines are one thing,
Immunity another,
Safety something else.
Here’s what I have learned:
Something in joy is stubborn,
Like its sister, love.
What may lie ahead
Has no more lasting power
Than we choose to grant.
If you hold a glass,
Be bold, be brave, lift it up.
The future’s here, now.
Cheers, Jan! Thank you for your words!
Nora
Cheers right back at you, Nora!
Happy New Year, Jan – better days ahead!
Barb, from your lips to . . . well, you know. Happy New Year back at you!
Beautiful final post for the year, Jan. “Something in joy is stubborn”…oh, so true! Here’s to better times in the coming year!
Cheers to you and yours, Laurie!
