The Year

     

 


 

    Well, where has the year gone? This is my last post of the year and I wanted to wish you all

 a wonderful New Year ahead and thank you for joining me throughout the year.

    I want to see the year out with a classic poem by American author and poet, Ella Wheeler Wilcox.



The Year


What can be said in new Year rhymes

That's not been said a thousand times?


The new years come , the old years go

We know we dream, we dream we know


We hug the world until it stings

We curse it then and sigh for wings


We  live , we love, we woo, we wed

We wreathe our prides, we sheet our dead


We laugh, we weep, we hope, we fear

And that's the burden of a year

 

 Ella Wheeler Wilcox Nov 5 1850—Oct 30 1919
