28 Farewell Rabbit

12 4 15
                                    

As the last days of this year draw to an end,
Farewell 2023, the year of the Rabbit.
You gave us happiness and laughter,
Sadness and tears,
You brought us new friends,
Both cyber and face-to-face.

Things looked awry,
But in the end they turned out just fine.
You've picked out weeds and pruned the trees.

We thank you kind Rabbit for the memories made and the moments shared.
Now we lay you to rest among your predecessors 2020 (Rat), 2021 (Ox) and 2022 (Tiger),
Praying for your return in time,
As we prepare to welcome a new year.

The year of the dragon 🐉
Happy New Year!
2024 🥂
