New Year 2018 Thriving

So, here we are again
    standing at the gates of time
    wondering how, why, where and when
 the old clock ticked by without a chime.

Three hundred and sixty five
    danced as if to last forever
    but the seconds and minutes are alive
as days are weeks and months untethered.

Another year slips by
    more easily than each day of laughter
    while the joy and tears both, make us cry
and life moves on with little to no happily ever after.

So, for the New Year 2018 arriving
    greet the hour and its promises in hand
    with open arms and sincere striving
to make democracy and freedom law of the land.
