January 1st of 2021
So full of hopes and dreams
Wanting to leave so much behind
With 2020 busting all our seams
And as I woke and started this day
The snow continues to fall
Beautifully covering everything
A true metaphor of my heart’s call
Covering what we want forgotten
Covering all the tears and pain
Covering all the heartache
Covering, so it ceases to remain
But lest we forget all the good
The lessons we hopefully received
Remember that this snow will melt
Creating new versions of who we can be
As the spring will come in the months ahead
And we walk forward into the new year
May we be better humans and learn from the past
May we love those who are still here
May we make choices for the better
May we walk boldly through each season
For we are now here in 2021
For a purpose, for a reason
So while the snow continues to cover
What’s under it still is there
May this year be far better
Because we chose to truly care.
