Come, December

Come, December.

Let’s wind up 
Moments heavier,
Better un-remembered,
Hopes unanswered,
Souls departed, 
Tears shed. 

Let’s pack away 
The Covid taandav 
It did one truth endow:
We all go, 
Here we may be-
A year more,
A week less,
A day more
Or a few decades,
For sure,
We do not know. 

Come December, 
Help us overcome. 

Come December, 
Bring a cool 2022 
With tides better, 
Bring laughter 
Lots of joy too;

Let’s love greater, 
Let’s all live 
Closer and on lesser.

Come December, 
Help us vow 
And always remember 
To add love everywhere
We come and go.

Let's pledge too,
To preserve Nature,
Multiply laughter 
To be kinder,‘humaner’
Make our 2022 lovelier
While we are here.
