Happy New Year to all of you!
Make this year your BEST yet!

2007 is almost gone. . .
2008! Bring on the Bong!


Poem Artwork

All in all, It's been a good year
I'm still here
Aren't I?

My highs were high,
yeah . . .
and my lows were low, the rain came, the sun shone
Da dada' . . . dada.' . . . dada.' . . .

The bees stung, the bells rung . . .
But, it's been a good year!
Hasn't it?

I ask myself. . .
What did I see,that I'd never seen?
And, What did I learn that I never knew?

Whom did I meet?
What tasted sweet?
The questions to know, answers to, Where are our feats?

My feet?
I just noticed them, standing . . .
. . . standing up, here,  for the beginning of a New Year. . . and I want to see more!

I'm thirsting for more wisdom and still gathering souls
I'm so hungry for hope; Can't sit. . .  setting new goals . . . stepping into my unknown . . .
and, My! . . . look how I've grown!

I'm keeping the faith; yeah, yeah, yeah, I know,
you've heard it before. . .  
But, now is my time to listen and do something about it!
Isn't it?

It's been a good year!
So, let's hold hands, cast all our fears and go forward!
Look back on the good, '
cause, we should!

. . . and take the bad, back, where it belongs!
. . . back to that Hell we created for ourselves!
Know, God. Period!

. . . and then, everything that has stood for something since the beginning of time, will rhyme!
...From within your thoughts, naught?
...Well, just take it from there, and everything we need to know will flow as we go. . .

before we're gone . . .
It's been a good. . .
BONG!
