From 2020 to 2021...
A message more profound than ever before:
We humans are a unique creation
With memory and imagination
Yet every day we seem to seek the purpose of life
When living every moment is the essence of life
Each day we carry a baggage
Of what wasn't, isn't, wouldn't, as luggage
So heavily we carry this weight
That life becomes an endless debate
From 2020 to 2021…
A message more profound than ever before:
What we forget and really fail to understand
Is that a single breath can make us fall or stand
We humans, are beings, inherently fragile
Who seem to believe that we are strong and agile
Homo sapiens - in theory, the species we are
Yet actions show mankind is very very far
All animals we have become
Known to some and unknown to some
The wild goose chase or the rat race
Insulting, fighting, face to face
Everyone is after the lion's share
Why not as humans we learn to care?
Leave behind the fame, shame and pride
And bouncing back like every tide
Calm and peaceful we must be
Look within, there's lots to see
Every morning we should wake
Sunshine's blessing we must take
Smile wide and thank our destiny:
"Here I am, a new day to see"
The human within must be alive
To love, laugh, learn, thrive - not just survive
To appreciate the past with beautiful, profound memories
To imagine a future of wonderful possibilities
Here's a toast to 2020
As we all have come through plenty...
Here's a cheer for 2021
For good health, wisdom, joy and fun!
