Thank you for sharing this. It feels so reflective of thinking about the past year and looking ahead.
There is a good deal of truth in that poem.
Great choice for the end of this year, John.
"And time to bring a new" ...great line and I was just thinking so myself when I woke up this morn.
MsMac: I also like the wordplay with piece/peace.
Barbara: I agree.
Carrie: Yes, it's amazing how poems from the 1600s can still be relevant.
Allison: It's a contagious sentiment for sure.
