Tonight
A bell will chime at midnight
I await
A step
Toward a long-anticipated future
Near you
I treasure the gift
Of spending time with you
Eating ice cream for lunch
Carving pumpkins
Dressing up as Huey Dewey and Louie
Goofing around
Opening presents
Paddling down the river
Soothing you
When you dropped your pumpkin hat
Into the water
Kicking a ball
Watching you play
Lending you my jacket
To shield you from the thorns
From the thickets of the woods
Your father led us through
So many memories
To hold
In the year of the pandemic
We managed
To laugh after the tears
To rejoice despite the heartbreak
To connect
And keep the love flowing
May the New Year
Bring many blessings
To all
