Happy New Year
Happy New Year
My neighbor wished me happy New Year
But lamented things would be unchanged
As we're still contending with the virus
And people are acting as if deranged.
I contemplated what she said
And, factually, it is quite true
But 2022 will be unique
Because, after all, it is new.
For me, this word is energizing
Both a challenge and an invitation
Indeed, the world will have its troubles
But inherent to humans is innovation.
We've seen as much in recent months
And what '22 brings, who can know?
So, joining hearts with all mankind
Into this newness I will happily go.
Molly Moore
