second verse

by Ann Lauren

on the eve of tickling
a newborn hope,
i fiddle nervously
as i close another box.

a second year earned,
another year past.

lively white teeth,
and ten more pounds,
add cushion to another
leap of faith.

Short, sweet and so effective. This holds so much truth for me - especially the last stanza.

Sums up how I'm feeling right now.. Good luck this year, Ann.
