l

We made it.
Despite the fear and predictions of doom.
We made it.
Even though there were days when we were tired
and there were days when we forgot who we were.
We made it.
And we must thank the stars for this.
And the birds for their beautiful songs.
And the strangers who were careful to smile.
We made it.


Written on the first day of the new millennium, January 1, 2000. Ron Atchison is the creator/developer of Inspiration Peak and an occasional poet.
