Not because of victories
I sing,
having none,
but for the common sunshine,
the breeze,
the largess of the spring.
Not for victory
but for the day’s work done
as well as I was able;
not for a seat upon the dais
but at the common table.
May we all make our intentions to work harder this year, 2012, for the greater good of all. Wishing everyone the most joyous turn of the wheel
