Need a message to carry into 2025?

My name doesn’t matter as names

Are no longer used

My advice to you is all that counts

 

Whatever your gender

Race or views

 

Just

Be an illumination

 

The world is still beautiful

Below the horizons of bleak despair

 

Beneath the layers of spin

Broken dreams and days

 

Where hearts still break

And painfully tear

 

For you are still all children

Of a universe of the Unseen

 

You all have a divine right

To still dream

 

But you must nurture

Your strength

In days of misfortune

 

Strengthen your shield

To always redeem

 

Your heart has always been yours

To always surrender

 

Its virtues and heroism's

Your own mighty defender

 

And in these days

Of darkness

And ever fading lights

 

Be a beacon within

Whoever is within

Your sight

 

Ignite many of the needy

As they venture

On your left or right

 

Inspire a new hope for them

To carry away freely

Into a new light

 

For it’s the only way

You’ll sleep peacefully

At night

 

So be it
