GOODBYE 2019

GOODBYE 2019

So 2019 is almost gone

One year's race you've almost won

Let's take a look back

To all things you'll take along

When this year came

You may have been happy again

Filled with hopes and desires

A large to-do list in your brain

Or you may have been sad

With whatever reason was thought bad

But you may have a desire

For this year to be glad

All this year you've seen

What an imbecile you've been

Forcing yourself into things

Deviating from your dream

To the people you've lost

Like leaves and summer and frost

You've paid your respects

And loved all year their ghost

And the people you've received

With trust in your heart believed

Have been through all year with you

With love both have perceived

Some hearts you've broken

Some mornings you wish you hadn't woken

But being through all this

A new you had evoken

Some days were summer

Some days have been bummer

And you may have experienced

How to be a new comer

But think about it

Stop, and apply your wit

After all you've been

You're still alive a bit

You're still you

Like the very drop of dew

Have your own identity

Have now become anew

So welcome this year

With love, hope and cheer

The cloudy skies once came

The cloudy skies will clear!

(Have a happy and prosperous New Year)
