It would have been the beginning of a decade
It became the definition of an era

It would have been another mostly unremarkable year in the progression
It became the year to re-examine priorities and focus

It would have been the year to step into the spotlight
It became the year to re-discover the satisfaction of small, private actions

It would have been the year for journeys and experiences with friends and family
It became the year where every brief encounter with friend or family was sacred and precious

2020 was a year

It would have been something
It became something much more
