I wonder what you have in store.
Without doubt, you will fly faster than I can imagine now,
as I wake in your first day.

I that hope you’ll be kind.
I’m trusting you with my dreams and schemes and plans,
to hold and make real in your future days.

I hope that you’ll be playful.
With invitation and glaring possibility for launching adventures,
great and small, in each of your days.

I hope that you’ll be loving.
With friends for sharing, arms for holding, hands for helping,
humanity, curiosity, and care.

“Good morning, to you.” said 2016 to me.
“I will be all of these things for you,
if you will be them in me.”
