Here’s to you,
obvious minefield.
Here’s to you, dark clouds
and silver lightning.
Here’s to your reputation,
established before you begin —
but also to your falling in love again
with possibility.
Here’s to where you stand on today
today, here’s to stepping up
to a stand you’ll take tomorrow
for tomorrow.
Here’s to your yesterday.
May it be yesterday. May it stay yesterday;
may it remind and inform but never,
ever repeat.
