Year's ending

Suddenly, the Christmas decorations look a little silly. I spent much of the morning gardening and before I came in, picked a spray of roses.



Happy New Year, everyone.

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light;
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring in the Christ that is to be.

Happy New Year to you as well, B. The rose and poem are beautiful. I've really enjoyed getting to know a bit about you this year and I'm sure 2012 will be just as interesting. May your 2012 be happy, healthy and peaceful. x

Thank you!

I see I used part of that poem last year as well; must try to be more original.
