A year to live

What is a year
If we don’t live
If we don’t forgive
If we don’t love.

What is a year 
If all we do is doing things
Instead of feeling
Instead of listening
Instead of giving.

A year is more than days.
It’s full of memories
It’s full of friendships
It’s full of learnings
It's full of discoveries.

If we close the door
Of the very last year
All good energies won’t flow anymore
All good actions will be interrupted
All good relations will finally die.

The new year is coming.
We don’t have to close anything
But just be simply open.
Open to continue what we've started.

If we let life move on
If we let ourself be quiet
Just a moment 
And in wonderful confidence
It will be the best moment of the year.

Of the one that is coming.
Of the one that is ending.

  1. Dear Jocelyne!

    What a rich poetry!

    2018 has been a wonderful year!
    Why should I forgot about it?
    Our past built us with dreams, loves, friendship, problems and success.
    2018 paved the way for 2019!
    That new year will be the best one if I want it to be!
    Happy new year my dear friend!
    Ginette 🌷

    1. Thank you Ginette. What wonderful words!!!

      We are entering in the New Year with an open heart. 2019 will bring us happy hours, joyous friends, glorious moments to cherish and to share with others. But most of all, as Mr. Vern McLellan said: «What the New Year brings to you will depend a great deal on what you bring to the New Year.»

      I only have one wish for you, Ginette: expect a truly wonderful year!

      Je t'embrasse. xoxo
