Twenty-three

The hour glass is nearly still

Twenty-two, good-bye

You were mostly kind to me

I'll kiss you as you fly

Tell the one that's coming

To gently settle in

And lay its claim with mercy

As we begin again

Another year to navigate

Please touch us with a peace

And bring this world a gentle calm

And bless us with a feast

Of kindness, wellness, warmth and wealth

Of love and heart felt cheer

I ask of you, Dear 23

Be this to all, this year
