Thank You

With mere days before we bid our good byes to dear 2006 , one does feel an abundance of bombardment from the multitude of should have's & could have's. Perhaps we could have just spent a little more time being home with loved ones, perhaps we should have bought that elusive number which was calling my name from the crumpled car, or quietly whispered to Zidane that no lying mafia banged his sister ; perhaps we could have made lesser necessity of having too much expired wheat,rotten grapes & pickled potatoes as our staple food, perhaps, perhaps, perhaps (& if you really love me say yes, if not... confess, just had to) ... lets leave such cynical shackles of wanting to know what bad has happened, or allowing ourselves to be blinded & twisted with augmented truths and pretty lies. Lets bid this farewell with a happy rather than hardened heart & greet the year with the grace of a smile.

Thank you 2006....

When you come to the end of a perfect day,
And you sit alone with your thought,
While the chimes ring out with a carol gay,
For the joy that the day has brought,
Do you think what the end of a perfect day
Can mean to tired heart,
When the sun goes down with a flaming ray,
And the dear hearts have to part?
Well, this is the end of a perfect day,
Near the end of a journey, too,
But it leaves a thought that is big and strong,
With a wish that is kind and true.
For mem'ry has painted this perfect day
With colors that never fade,
And we find at the end of a perfect day,
The soul of a friend we've made.

Have a wonderful New Year.
