The Lighthouse by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Watching the sunrise welcome the new year over the Portland Head Lighthouse, I thought of Longfellow and his beautiful stanza--
“...And the great ships sail outward and return
Bending and bowing o'er the billowy swells,
And ever joyful, as they see it burn
They wave their silent welcome and farewells...”
It is time to say goodbye to the past and search for that new bright and shining light, one that can be found within the hope a new year brings.
"They wave their silent welcome and farewells..."
Goodbye 2014. I will miss you.
