- We had flood and lightning,
- But the world had lies and war.
- The tsunami made us thoughtful
- And we wonder who'll keep score,
- When it's time for our departure -
- At this stage we think like that -
- Mortality does clear the mind,
- Removing myths and fat.
- We find meaning in each other,
- Glad we still have work to do -
- Books and stories, rants and columns -
- They keep coming fresh and new.
- There's bees to keep and wood to cut;
- Tomatoes still grow here.
- We sleep at night, and do take naps -
- And what is there to fear?
- All our friends and family
- Matter very much to us.
- You keep us focused here and now,
- And that's a major plus.
- Here's hoping that this next new year
- Is good to us and you -
- Let's focus on the good things -
- Healing, love and each day new.
