another new year’s eve

another new year’s eve
the task
taking a look back
leaving a smile
imprinted on memories
some warming
some to be forgotten
lessons of living
lessons of forgiving

taking time
to hold on to ideals
throwing perfection aside
sharing kindness
caressing caring
holding
hugging
loving

finding 1’s inner-self
is only a miniscule fraction
of the universe

we may part
as friends
our ties are taut
friendship never ends

on any day
of any year
hold those
who’s ties are dear

on every day
of every year
in this heart
you’re held

another
new year’s eve
raise your glass
toast to the past
make way
a new day
a new year
