To all of you, from all of me

My awesome second family

My New Year's wish, for us to be

Refreshed together annually 


Some authors write with great suspense

Others with spiritual sense

Poems and stories so intense

For honesty and not pretense


These friends who I care much about

I do not want to be without

I thank you, with a heartfelt shout

Support, encouragement, no doubt


Buffet of seasoned writer's skill  

 More exquisite than a six star meal

I'll never beg, borrow or steal

Or change the way of how I feel


For you, I'd like to spread some cheer

 I'll sing it loud, so you all hear

If celebrate with wine or beer

Dear friends be safe ~Happy New Year
