Happy New Year

Another year we leave behind and take some time to dwell .... Did we do it badly ? or did we do it well ? Another chapter we must start and look at what lies ahead ... Let it fill you with anticipation and not with fear and dread ... People come and people go , they may have served their time ... Moving on and looking up is surely not a crime ... Keep the lessons you have learned , they will light the road in front ... They will make decisions easier when tough times do confront ... Speak your mind but keep it fair and listen to those around ... Be true to who you know you are , its the easiest I have found ...

Sally, Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will find much delight, in reading and in time become familiar with your way of writing. But, for the mean time, I will greet you with the same smile, other poets passed when I first join the soup 4 years ago. I wish you the best when it comes to your poems. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you like. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND". Hugs* SKAT
