Here’s to a fresh start,
Here’s to today,
A clean, open slate,
And a bright warm day.
Here’s to serenity,
Here’s to all life,
A chance to just smile again,
In entirety of strife.
Here’s to our families,
Here’s to all the hope,
That keeps us from tumbling down again,
Down this wicked hole.
And as the sun did shine on us,
I hope it still will do,
A new year’s in the wind and skies,
It’s time we bloom anew.
~ Happy new year~

Happy times mate. I like how you often write in celebration. Grateful for the pleasures and joys in life.
Hereβs to writing and all arts.
Hereβs to beautiful sunrises and gorgeous silver moons. To glorious mountains and endless deserts.
Hereβs to that great little meal you make for yourself that you can feel the taste and aroma of in your belly for hours afterwards.
Hereβs to that amazing wine π· that you wash it down with.
Hereβs to you brother.
