January swept into our lives with high expectations
Yet, still sheltered our freedom was again rationed
Pristine snow reminded us it was winter at last
The birth of a new year was upon us so fast
Martin Luther King celebrated non violent reform
But the storm on the United States capitol was born
A threat to our freedom, an unholy act of defiance
We seek solace with new administration for reliance
Ousted DT moved on, a sad story ended without glory
Joe Biden positive message brought calm to the story
Winter Village and ice skaters in Bryant Park
Made us feel giddy, a play day away on a lark
Alas, Winter claimed her chilly, chatter place
We bundled up, distanced ourself, mask on face
Yearning for sunshine to warm our grieving hearts
Paper lanterns lit uo Mott St. in Chinatown to start
Lunar celebrations and rainbow colors in midtown
Lit up the city with warm hearted love all around
Adieu to January left us with ambivalent grace
February was waiting impatiently to take its place
With LOVE to LOVE the promise on Valentine's Day
Let's spread love and more love in this special way
Send hope and hugs to strangers and everyone you love
Then do it again and again to heal the sad world we love.
