My
Christmas tree is glowing and candles are lit
All comfy
and fresh in my nightie, I sit
A peaceful
night to reminisce on my own
To reflect
and ponder over years that have flown
Thinking of
my loved ones and friends near and far
Hoping you are
safe wherever you are
This year
has unfolded many triumphs and tears
But life is
like that - and we grow through the years
We must
learn from the past, for we can’t rewind
Only live
for this moment, laugh and be kind
I gaze up
to the abundance of stars that shine
Thinking
soon it is time to sing Auld Lang Syne
Relishing
the bubbles from my champagne flute
I am
sentimentally gratified and happy to boot!
Happy New
Year!
