2022

Another chapter closed, one more year in the books.
A day of reflection, shadowed by sanguine looks.

We’ve all seen loss it’s been a difficult year.
It’s time to move forward and dry each tear.

Opportunity unveiled; it will greet you with a knock.
Seize your moment, embrace each tic of the clock.

Welcome to page one, a new chapter we’ll write.
Let’s emerge from the darkness and dwell in the light.

Just cut the light string shorter Mark so we can't make it dark even if we want to. Hopefully I will reflect on your words all day and better yet, all year.
