As Fireworks Fly

I step softly
as the fireworks fly
I step on the shore
heaven knows
how deep the sea
how I've held my breath
how I've surrendered
I can hear you breathe
my words are small
my eyes talk more
my eyes are wiser
they hold the stars
I wish
they wish that
every grace befall us all
warm love
childlike laughter
peace backlit with joy
—me strauss Letting me be

Why that might be the perfect New Year's poem. I like your new picture, too. Happy, healthy 2006, Liz to you and your family and readers. Including me, what the heck.

Doug,
Why thank you, sir.
It's a good thing you didn't leave yourself out. I wouldn't have liked you picking on a friend of mine like that.
Smiles and Happy New Year,
Liz
