Happy New Year

James R. Ford
The days wind down to another years end

All the catastrophies and shortfalls will be reflected

in the newspaper, in magazines, and on the television.

Noteworthy people have passed on

and grandparents have held newborn babies.

The promise of another year awaits

with all of its own shortcomings and tragedies,

promise and new resolutions, all of its sadness and restitution,

all of its wonder, and some room for cheer,

here's hoping you have a happy new year.
