Needless to say
The circle of love
Has yet to enlighten
Pockets of misery
Which, hopefully, over time
Will muster the courage
To develop the self-trust
Necessary to override fear
And live free of abuse
With that train of thought in mind
I ask each of you to consider
Which two traits must be strengthened
Before the concept of self empowerment ...
Frees the oppressed
From old traditions
Which blind us
To negative attitudes
That bind us to the past?
And in keeping with that train of thought
Here is my holiday wish for you and yours:
I wish you a 'present', which when unwrapped
Will permeate us, one and all
With the spirit of generosity
Which must ring true, through and through
If peace, harmony and human dignity
Are to prevail upon a global scale ...
If not today, then tomorrow—which is only a day away
With warm smiles
Optimistic hugs
And an ever hopeful heart
I wish my family and friends
The best that life has to offer
As we ring out
The old year
And welcome
The new
JYour friend, Annie
