Twenty Seventeen –
what will it bring? And can we
help love and reason prevail?
~
Good times and bad times
I’ve seen them all, and my dear,
I am still right here!

What is memory
for if not to recall the
best and learn from the worst?
~
Memory must serve
as chronicler of all
thing both great and small.
If it’s tradition
to stand firm against the tide,
how can we bend with the wind?
~
Sometimes it’s wise to
stand firm, sometimes to bend. Let
values, not tradition, guide.
In these days between
what was and what will be, how
should we spend our time?
~
Live for the moment.
Because the past is the past
and the future, unwritten.
Now that merry joy
has run it’s seasonal course,
what still remains of this year?
~
Twenty sixteen has
had its ups and downs but
joy runs through the heart of things.
All those many years
ago in the midst of hate,
love was born. Let’s help it grow.
~
Hatred seems to reign
despite love’s reported strength:
Perhaps Love should exercise?
Will there come a time
when Christmas arrives to find
us joyous and well prepared?
~
Christmas is a time
to discover joy whether
or not we’re prepared.
We remember those
who have gone before, knowing
we are here because of them.
~
As, one day, we’ll be
remembered, for good or ill,
by those who follow.
As calendars grow
increasingly short, can we
still draw out holiday joy?
~
It matters not if
calendars grow short as joy
knows no holiday.
