A new year, not a new fear. A kind love, not a new shove. A well body, not a frame shoddy.
Celebrate to the music playing, not worrying about others saying. Bringing the new year in with a blast, forgetting grudges in the past. Enjoying here and now, drinking and eating good chow.
A new year of joy, not letting the devil destroy. Praying for all that's good, enhancing a joyous mood. Canceling all the jive, appreciating being alive.
A short story of mine was included in an anthology of short fiction by fourteen of Port Town Publishing Company's authors. It is out of print and no longer available except as a download. Contact me at charlenetess@yahoo.com if you want it.

Take care,
