I wish for...
gratitude to grow,
appreciation to blossom,
love to flourish,
and happiness to lift the soul of the world.
I wish for...
understanding to become normal,
differences to be welcomed,
and homes to become a place of belonging.
Maybe this year we will look beyond our self-made identities,
to the friend inside.
And know that...
together is stronger than apart,
proactivity exceeds reactivity,
hope is higher than regret,
and love heals pain.
