Across the Fence: An Ending – The Suburban Times

Across the Fence: An Ending

Susanne Bacon · December 25, 2020 · ·

As this is the last weekend The Suburban Times is published in 2020, I wish to thank the readers who bore so kindly with me this year and commented so wonderfully. For once, I thought on a festive occasion like this, a poem – in this case, a sonnet – might be an appropriate response.

Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year to all of us!

Yours truly,

Susanne Bacon

Trudging is the right word for the year this has been. Your poem is one of human kindness and hope for the future. God bless us all .
