It's early.
And almost a year since I was here.
I hear a sound of birds singing
outside my window
and a dog barking down the street.
All the familiar things I love about
this life.
This tender, precious life.
This time last year
when all the church bells were silent
and traffic noise was stilled
the world became a different place.
We all coped in different ways
laughter, tears, hope, fear.
Change.
2020 we won't forget you.
2021 you brought fresh hope to
my life through retirement .
Stars from a friend.
New beginnings
as one door closed
and another opened.
A sound of birds singing.
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken- winged bird
that cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
~Langston Hughes
