An afternoon in the sunshine,
together with family.
Enjoying little discoveries
along our path.
Looking ahead to a new year of shared time with loved ones.

brighter than the rest
draws our eyes
brings a breath

beneath the glow
every year we gather
the color which is
a gift.

Packed into this little pink ball.

Of weather and time
Of person and earth
Of then and now
Stars surround
The bright sun within
