New Year New Strategy

Another year is ending

Soon a fresh one will begin

My mind feels the pressure

Of many items still filling

The box on my desk marked “in”

Knowing some inevitably

Will remain undone

Not surprisingly

As 2020 was a most chaotic one

COVID-19

Unprecedented election scenes

A strange new vaccine

Masks hiding faces

With emotions unseen

Maybe 2021

Will offer a bit more fun

Engage better conversations

See a lot more hugs

By now we have an idea

Of what our priorities should be

As we take time

To reflect

To plan

To decide

What we would like

Our next year

To be
