“All I ask the new year for
is to fall silently into the spaces
that the last one left empty.
Filling them with a hope
that tells me gently at dawn
that my simple love
can cure even the most extraordinary heart
and that my broken past
is enough for each tomorrow that follows.
Maybe it will even remind me
that all the mistakes I will collect over the next year
are not as bad as the chances I missed in the last one.”

Happy New Year Bridget!!
Beautiful poem, thank you for sharing. Happy New Year!
All the best to you in 2024
Let's do this.
Here we go is right. It's too bad we don't get a choice in this. I can think of some years I would rather head into than this one. Any non-election year would be nice.
Happy New Year!
Wishing you all a very good 2024.
