No Tears

The last day of '18 - soon
it will be mothballed
and relegated to memory -
something not real
like a dream
as if we were not really there.

Our thoughts on the year
were good ones:  good
moves, good work, good
food, good happy.  And
we are the lucky ones
(although luck can be worked
for, hard-earned).

Looking into the unknown
what can we do
except be glad of the
moment that is real
and in our hands
and with no tears.
