Another Year, Another Auld Lang Syne

Another year has passed by me and so much different then the last ever since this Covid March I have been living out my house arrest no outward smiles to show my love, no hugs no squeezes for my kids like a Citizen of good I understood but yes, I almost flipped my lid with every day that passes by I dream of yesterday's good chide though nature walks and social talks are good, I have been tried heart and soul I miss my family and friends, this is my prayer that the New Year will arrive, and be our dragon slayer ... Another year another Auld Lang Syne, I'm longing for the wine an open sign that says yes come in, restaurants where I can dine a shopping mall, a dancing hall, filled up buses with a kiss n' ride maskless faces in a world of wander, with happy people at my side Another year has passed me by, and I'm waiting, by and by...

Years move slowly when one is young but rapidly gain speed as one ages. Back in the day, conscripts were sent overseas for 2-years if married, 3-years if single, so being apart was taken in stride, yet everyone is now upset at being separated for less than one year! Life is constant change and revision of all that one thinks one knows! Aloha! Rico
