The Year That Was

Joseph m Novo 1951 (Watsonville Ca)

Narrative
As I look me passed

This year I have
Seen my share
As many have
This year of grief and joy
Of  and death
Each with joy and sadness
Most sincerely,
I do so wish
Most dearly
That all the world
Can come together
To wish each and every one
A love most kind
