Greetings 2025

In the quiet of morning's first light of this new day, this new year,

We're given a gift wrapped in dawn's delight—

Another day, fresh and new,

A canvas blank, waiting for me and you.

We never know which day might be

The final chapter of our story to see.

So let us live with hearts aware,

Of every moment, precious and rare.

Breathe in deep the morning air,

Feel gratitude beyond compare.

For in this web of life we share,

Each connection shows how much we care.

Like quantum particles, entangled, bound,

Our energies touch without a sound.

In others' lives, we play our part,

Each interaction, a work of art.

Some days shine like summer sun,

While others test us as they run.

Yet in each one, a lesson lies,

A chance to grow, to be more wise.

Choose well the path that you will take,

In every moment, choices make.

To lift someone who's fallen low,

To plant the seeds of love that grow.

For when our final sunset fades,

Let it be said through evening's shades,

That we lived full in every breath,

And loved life deeply until death.

So greet this day with open arms,

Embrace its beauty, face its harms.

For in this gift of here and now,

Lives endless possibility somehow.
