--Year’s End --
John Herlihy
Year’s end but a beginning,
Let us not forever pretend.
Loss as a sense of winning,
At midnight chimes the end.
The secret lies in the circle,
Goes around, comes around.
Each second reveals a miracle,
Finding the mystery profound.
To each one of you and to all,
A happy and blessed new year.
The stars rise aloft and then fall,
In every smile lies a hidden tear.
All tired together in life’s rope,
All bound in the circle of hope.
