Happy New Year

A whole year past and gone,

The play is over, the curtain is drawn,

Is there an applause, a thundering ovation?

Or the terrible hiss of deprecation?

But above and beyond all that I've done,

The good deeds, the white lies, and bad sticky buns,

There are many things to be grateful for,

The many blessings I cannot ignore.

So although the past year has not been the best,

And still many regrets I cannot lay to rest,

I'm thankful for everything that has come my way,

And with this in mind, tomorrow will be a better day...

The morning sun shining down on Piazza Castello in Torino. It's warm rays are so welcoming and happy. So, Happy New Year...and have a great year ahead!
