Savor Sweetness

The holiday season's over
    It lasts one day too long
  Fond memories, even insights
    scarred by her torch song

  Were I the ruler of the world
    I'd end it one day sooner
  Savor sweetness while still fresh
    from lips of festive crooners

Many times we go on too long or too far and reduce the overall experience. To end early enough to savor the experience is a true delight. Hope you enjoyed your holidays and celebrations, my dear friend. Joy and peace be with you, Bill
