Putting a toe
over the line,
a tentative launch
into the New Year.
A quick glimpse
to the left and right,
making sure the coast is clear,
and lifting the other foot
a small step forward.
Grin spreading
(a devil may care smirk even)
widening into a full blast
smile, tilting my chin up in defiant joy!
Knowing I can choose to be more
and succeeding.
Now my body in motion,
forward momentum, arms
swinging, knees pumping
from a small step into a sprint.
The future is just over that
horizon,
waiting to share it's days
of laughter,
it's moments of triumph,
the small treasures
that make a happy life.
Watch me stride!
Now laughing with tears,
Now ready and still
stubborn as hell,
I go forth into the New Year
welcoming the days ahead.

'Happy 2013 to All!'
