1.1.14

Awakening..


                                       Awoke in  a new setting..
                                                          A new YEAR


                             What can be said in New Year rhymes,
                                That’s not been said a thousand times?
                                   The new years come, the old years go,
                                       We know we dream, we dream we know.
                                          We rise up laughing with the light,
                                              We lie down weeping with the night.
                                We hug the world until it stings,
                                   We curse it then and sigh for wings.
                                      We live, we love, we woo, we wed
                                 We wreathe our brides, we sheet our dead
                                              We laugh, we weep, we hope, we fear,
                                                  And that’s the burden of the year.

                                                 Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1910)


“Here's to the bright New Year, and a fond farewell to the old; here's to the things that are yet to come, and to the memories that we hold.”xoxo
