What will the poet be doing with this New Year? Same thing she did with the last one!

Under All Circumstances

When life is going as I wish it to ~
Modest goals which I have set
Appear as though they may be met,
Dare hope constructive end results to view
Waking every morning cheerf’ly bright ~
I write

When trouble lowers grim its brow,
Good plans begin to go astray
In a most disturbing way
Allowing me not figure how
Contend with cold misfortune’s pain:
I write again

When o’er horizon, dawning hope
A promise offers of
Harmony and love
And opportunity to cope
With challenges which came before:
I write some more

And when in calm and peaceful time
I quiet sit with cup of tea
Recollecting me
A lifetime’s stories, all in rhyme,
In benign delight:
What do you think? I write!
