Looking forward, looking back - stand steady On how time turns and takes back what it gives But mark its profligacy make ready A promised newness that revivifies. Reflections and wisdom. tony

Departure always asks us what was done -/And what's revealed - and what you cannot tell -/And now the year itself is passing on/Its muted questions mar farewell.....pragmatic expression! Many congratulations for this beautiful poem being featured as Poem of the Day!
