Handsel

Augustus

I offer you a handsel

To place within your pocket.

That rich experiences swell

Twenty seventeen's docket.

 

Now seemingly small token

Lost in the darkness within;

Mere words easily spoken

Occasioning just a grin.

 

But as the year progresses

You'll be pleasantly surprised

Will come your way successes

Much more than you realized.

 

Wishing you all success and happiness in your endeavors for 2017

 

 Augustus /Folsom Louisiana / January 2017
