Shouldn't…but Do

I wish for you a sunny day, on a hill with friends somewhere in May
I wish for you a forest strong with snow and light and forgotten song

I wish for you a cafe scene with noise and thought and talk
I wish for you a common place for you and love to take a walk

For ocean, mountain and desert red and a comfortable place to lay your head
But most for health and to get by, and for the moon to shine within your eye

These are days that run by fast, a whisper here and then they’ve passed
So onward ever, with time as friend, an open heart with no dark end.

Be well, be strong as change draws near —
Happy New Year my friend, Happy New Year.
