Dear  Friends, evening draws near, birds fly home to  safe nests another sunrise awaits, has humanity passed all trials and tests?   Last sunset or first sunrise, every year ends.This day too shall pass.  Schools will open, traffic will move, children will go to their class. Year's end or a new beginning, wars continue, never ending killing, if  wisdom  prevails, instead of bombing, there will be  friendly singing. year ends , on days of miracles, celebration blessings and forgiving fruit cakes, puddings, gifts, presents,family meetings and bells ringing, each year has time,temperature and turmoil this too had suspense, stormy  surprises ambushes attacks  armed  protests beauty  behind barricades ecosystem changes environmental disasters joyful achievements and losses lockouts lock downs curfews shootings in holy places In all poets and writers , read  recited wrote for peace joy and stood united...
