New Year 2024

Happy 2024 everyone, wishing you all a happy and healthy new year!

This is like a song

or a story

or maybe a Hallmark

card

a Norman Rockwell painting

but the flames are growing high

in the wood stove

they reflect in your eyes

your iris lights up,

with a flame that

dances around 

dances around

a square dance

with red cowboy hats,

and brown cowboy boots

stamping impatiently

to say goodbye to our

unrealized dreams

turning a new page

for the beginning of a

new year

Never to late for dreams to come true...I am going to put another piece of wood on the fire so that

it will keep going and wait for us to catch up.
Happy New Year, NormaZ.
