A New Year’s Wish

December 30, 2017 by Rob La Eace

I wrote this in 2012. A wish that you find all you seek in 2018.

 

Friend

Another year slipped by

End.

Visit the mind’s eye

Reminisce.

All the times we’ve had

Bliss,

And some quite sad.

 

A midnight kiss and 31 cold days

This year began in much the same way.

Flowers, chocolates, a night at home?

Valentine’s passed, some together, some alone

 

Green beer, March is here, and a Patty’s Day Jig

Bats crack, baseball’s back—home team hopes are big.

May.

Be,

we didn’t;

and May, be, we did.

Mother’s Day “I love you” from your favorite kid

Births and deaths and a class reunion

Dried flowers, bright smiles, and a wedding—it’s June again

Camping trips,  family picnics, and anchor-outs on the boat

Firework glow, a suitcase in tow, postcards sent with short notes

 

A Labor Day blast, and summer had passed

Gone fast, we wanted more

Green leaves turned brown, then to ground

Spice and pumpkin escape the oven door

 

The days grew short, AC yachts to port

Blue Angels screaming proud.

Unforgotten, our troops

A Fleet Week salute

October, take a bow.

 

Then just as fast as last year

November rain had come.

We chased our tails, we chased down sales

And the clouds chased down the sun

 

Now with most our holiday wishes

And obligations met

It’s time to look back on our year

Inhale, exhale,  reflect.

 

We’re always busy, so busy.

 

“I can’t talk right now”

“Can I call you later on?”

“I wish I had more time”

Seems that moment’s always gone.

 

 

 

Standing in the threshold of this year to come

Let’s make a promise to each other—one not to come undone.

Make the time , and take the time to spend with those who are close

Have a snowball fight, a date night,  take a road trip down the coast.

 

As years from now when flickering through life’s novel, start to end

The chapters we’ll have book marked, will be the ones we spent with friends.
