last year's language
and
next year's words
await another voice.
And
to make an end is
to make a beginning.

With never a thought of sorrow;
The old goes out,

Comes merrily in tomorrow

or what we believe,
is in the end,

is
what we do.

If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy,
if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you,
if the simple things in nature have a message you understand,
Rejoice, for your soul is alive.

We Meet
