Today's the shortest day, known as the Winter Solstice;
We’ve been missing daylight – that emotional poultice.
But its lack encourages our own light from within,
Even when dark falls early, much to our chagrin.
The light we carry and share wherever we go,
Lifts all boats and helps dispel one’s seasonal woe.
The good news is that, from now and through June,
Every day there’s more sunshine, a definite boon!
Be kind to yourself during every long night,
Let your hopes uplift you, let your smiles be bright.
We’re here for each other, through thick and through thin,
Hope springs eternal, as it comes from within.
I hope during this time, that spontaneity makes you laugh
That all will be forgiven, no matter the gaffe.
That your thoughts begin with an optimistic “next year….”
That your friends will be around to dance with and give cheer.
