ANOTHER YEAR

 

Another year has come and gone

what has been achieved, or done,

in retrospect time quickly passed

days, weeks, months compressed,

for some perhaps the opposite true

largely for most, our time just flew.

 

There were times of anxiety and stress

mixed with happy laughter and success,

some on occasions feeling bad and sad

while others felt like the top of the world,

we counted our blessing, progress made

though many felt pain, unexpected death.

 

How then will the New Year turn out -

will successes or failures come about

good health, happiness find its way

will you be afflicted, have bad days,

your story as yet unwritten, untold

suspense in your life yet to unfold.
