New Year, New Chances to Love

New Year, New Chances to Love


new chances to love our fingers
as they raise the tea cups to our lips

new chances to love our lips
as they kiss our friends

new chances to love our friends
even when they forget to be friendly

new chances to love ourselves
when we forget to be friendly
to ourselves

new chances to love
discovering how to make more
and more people
a recipient of our love
or liking
or enjoying
or giving them
just plain old wonderful
sweet now
is now
is now
is now
attention

more and more
people
including our
so called selves

good
