Months passed,
in solving problems
in hope and fear,
did I do one act of kindness?

I worried about everything,
economics, politics,
global and regional crisis.
Did I do one helpful act?

May we be kinder to each other
and learn to live delightfully
in spite of all the problems
and do some useful things.

Wish you all a very happy year in 2009
