The New Year

Here’s to us;

Making it this far,

Another year approaching,

Ready for us to take it in our stride

And as we dust down those resolutions,

Reviewing the messes we’ve made,

The triumphs we’ve tasted,

Taking a shot for every disappointment

And dancing in the embers of the past –

We bound forwards,

Revelling in the victory

Of all we’ve overcome.

 

Nothing compares to this strength,

The courage it take to evolve

And survive the torture of our cocoons.

For now, we emerge.

Glittering and ready

For all this year, this life

Has in store.
