2020: My Good and Bad Points

When we looked ahead on January 1
we never thought what was to come
no holidays, wear masks, walk apart
all over the world many faces glum

Personally like many no break away
five holidays cancelled no time in the sun
having to use sanitisers not good for skin
public transport sit apart it's not fun

Having to queue to go shopping
church closed so watch on live stream 
this pandemic covid 19 has changed us
will normal ever return or just a dream?

But be positive some things been good
for me personally life has slowed down
enjoyed walks in lovely countryside
done jobs that caused the wife's frown

I've read many books that's been good
so edifying for my soul to dig deep
learn theologically what honours God
then focus right, see what blessing to reap

I've read over a dozen good books
on subjects like humility, idols and worship
read sermons from great preachers of the past
been built up and grateful to Jesus eternal grip

Have written more poems reached 1700
find more new friends on AP so blessed
so we can pray for each other to rise
making us all rise to our cuckoo's nest

Now we pray to know better days
fix our eyes on Jesus, sure to obeys

( Looking back at my good and bad points of 2020.)

I think it's good to look bad and take inventory of ourselves now and then. I usually do this on New Year's Eve. You have a very positive outlook Gordon. Knowing Christ Gives Peace In Troublesome Times. Great job. God Bless, JB
