TWELVE WISHES FOR THE NEW YEAR

In January, I wish for you black, velvet skies

with a million, dazzling stars.

In February, may you walk beneath them

a loved one's hand in yours.

For March, let fresh winds bluster

through you and clear out the old,

and may April's halo of tender leaves

inspire you to new growth.

A dance 'round a Maypole

is my wish for you in Spring,

and a field of June blossoms to nap in.

July, may you know quiet coves

and endless hours to spend there.

For August, I wish you a blue lake to sail on,

September, a fiesta

of orange, red and gold.

In October, may that harvest moon

paint your nights with light,

and the soft gray of November

enfold you in stillness.

At last, comes dark December,

and my wish for you then,

and always, is peace...

Warmest holiday greetings to all...
