SOLSTICE WISH

Since Christmas comes but once a year,
Cherish the season’s joys.
To wish for lasting peace and cheer
As children wish for toys.

Our actions bloom from thoughtful love,
Not charred by bitter hate;
The rivers clear, blue skies above,
Not global warming’s fate.

If peace on earth I can’t expect,
I’ll compromise by hoping
That cycling will regain respect
As riders won’t be doping.

Best wishes to all in 2008!
Wei
