start with a bowl of forgiving
add a heap of compassion
and a dash
of reality
—-for if you are not aware
than how can you care—–
stir together
kindness and tolerance
creating a mix of empathy
gently fold this into the bowl
add equal amounts of
hope
happiness
courage
and faith
blending till completely combined
bring to a simmer
smell the aromatic magic
fill your glass
and raise it on this sunset
to a new year
with this elixir
full of
understanding
positivity
gratitude
and joy
it’s love
