Happy New Year! Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Each day,
Realize the Sun will rise.
From dawn to do to recognize.
As if without exception.
To include everything.
You, me and others too.
Miraculous this is to witness.
Miraculous this gift to get.
To notice or it dismissed.

Never has the Sun,
Appeared on the horizon...
Bringing along,
Old attitudes.
And leftover moods.
To start a new day done.
With a freshness about it.
Or expect this to welcome.
Afterall,
It is the Sun.
Doing what it does.
Bestowing bright light,
Upon everyone.

Can we all be like the Sun?
Regardless if clouds with rain.
And the warning of storms,
We all have experienced come.
To still not allow,
That light inside us dim to do...
Or permit it done.

Can we all find a reason,
To shine as bright.
Although this might be a task,
To do each day to find...
Each month found,
Throughout each year.
Yet...
We wish to want to receive,
And give happiness!
Is it possible to do this.
To choose.
A Happy New Year!
This year and all years to come! ?
