Happy New Year!

As we inch closer to 2023, I offer you this beautiful song by Linda Kachelmeier. I look forward to companioning you in the new year.

WE TOAST THE DAYS

When the clock strikes twelve
And another year has gone,
I give a kiss to you
As remembrance of the past we have shared
And the future yet to come.

We toast the days, both good and bad,
The old friends and the new.
When the clock strikes twelve
And another year has gone,
I give a kiss to you.

While the night is long
And the bitter cold has come,
We lengthen our embrace
To sustain us as we mourn our regrets
And the fear of days unknown.

We toast the days, both good and bad,
The old friends and the new.
While the night is long
and the bitter cold is come,
I give a kiss to you.

As we stand on the edge
Of another bright new year,
I take your hand in mine
With assurance of
The courage we will find
And the hope that leads us on.

We toast the days, both good and bad,
The old friends and the new.
As we stand on the edge 
of another bright new year,
I give a kiss to you.

(My thanks to Cantus.)
