OF LIVING AND LOVING... AND COPING...: The Road Ahead

03 January 2011

The Road Ahead

a time to reflect

severed ties there were many

what has gone awry?

a year marked by pain

perhaps the one ahead holds

a better promise...

that of beginnings

instead of tearful endings

long-lasting friendships
