2022, Thanks to YOU!

May all things “New,” bring fulfillment to you,

Especially now, in year 2022,

With all of who we are, with all that the things we do,

Loving aloud, with compassion dreams realized as true,

In action for nature, with solutions, much to do,

For the health of the sky, and the ocean ever blue,

May we set sail, float; outrig, Drua, kyack, and canoe,

Heart embodied more than image of ink on skin tattoo,

Health reigning for all people through, and through,

Transformed systems to assess- consider and review,

Adaptation world peace – nature’s growing coup,

All would wonder how, when? And especially who,

Can we together find resilience, common ground to renew?

Balance and equality might make a debut,

On islands, Global South, look to Fiji, Vanua Levu

Priorities shifting health to overcome pandemic and the flu,

The change starts with just one, but together we make two,

Imagine the possibilities of what we altogether just might do,

Deep gratitude, for friends, family, community too,

Remember, the blessings and love there is especially for YOU!
