When lights dimmed and hopes lingered,
When memories flickered and breathing hastened,
Ready to usher in a new morn,
A new door,
A new born,
A 2018.
With held heaves,
Synched countdowns,
Matching smiles
And shared joy,
The clock ticked
And the new moment knocked.
Like old skin, '17 is shed
And now '18 shines with newness.
With a grateful heart
Warmed by your loyal reads and shares,
I wish a peaceful year
Full of soccer thrill
And poetic justice.
