Dear God of 2020
I thank you for this year
I thank you for the hearts you broke
For each and every tear

I thank you for the robots
The code in every build
I thank you for the lives you’ve saved
And every dream you’ve killed

I thank you for my mother
I thank you for my dad
I thank you for my sisters
And every fight that we have had

I thank you for the stories
Again they have been told
Thanks for when I felt you near
And days when you felt cold

I thank you for…

This is lemon juice in the wounds, this is the icing on the cake, this is disease without cure, this is the last straw it could take, this is way more than words could yet describe, its every pre-ounce of my life, this is a death unspoken, this is a chain unbroken

He is the beginning but won’t be the end, he is a love, the man, a friend, he is the reason I try and try again, I can’t, I won’t, I’ll never lose him

He is late nights and joyous collecting, he is sweet things and journeys unending…

I look back on my last lost love and laugh
I laugh and enjoy the joy we shared and the way we made each other feel
Love is always the same, a beautiful full body experience
I will love again

I was always going to love again
I had love in my heart waiting for the children we could’ve had together
I had love in my heart for the new friends we would make over the years
I have love for my ever-changing group of co-workers and their families
Love is the world’s most renewable form of energy

Love makes…
