Words:
So it’s a new year.
That time we look to start over and make a change.
But doing anything this year does feel a bit strange.

Days, weeks and months were all heading the same way,
but then, one day, it felt different, like time had slowed.
Like we all turned a corner and went down a new road.

And now the only real change this year is the date.
But this little change is all it should take for us to celebrate,
that we are here, that we get another year,
That despite all the tragedy,
We still choose hope over fear.

Let’s take this moment to pause,
To look at the world reflectively,
To look for the lessons to be learnt retrospectively.
See which parts we should change,
and which parts need reviewing,
See which parts to rearrange,
and which parts to keep doing.

So in a few months time,
when all is said and done,
We can say forget 2020,
This is 2021.
