Post holiday hustle
Feet up
Taking it all in
Last day of the year
Fond memories made
Tucked inside
heart and mind
Reflecting
On a year of mini triumphs,
successes and defeats
Comprising who I am
Time to let bygones
BE GONE
I can’t take them with me
As a year blossoms
I can breathe it’s fresh air
Starting anew
Pointing me
in a new direction
Sad, still, to say goodbye
Grateful to have lived
and loved another year
