To all my friends

A New Year Wish

Perhaps a bit wiser, a bit kinder, too,
a little bit braver, a heart that's more true,
a touch of believing I've not known before,
in joys I'm receiving a little bit more.

A little more anxious to reach out my hand,
despite hurt or problems to still understand,
accepting the heartache that life often brings,
a little more beauty in life's simple things.
