A YEAR TO FORGET

A YEAR TO FORGET We all have times we’d like to forget, it’s true Perhaps a moment, a day, a month or year One must discard the old and embrace the new I think there’s a time and a place to shed a tear But this year just past may justify a flood And maybe I’ll say I don’t give a damn, my dear For some bad luck may even run in the blood There’s those who always moan and complain For whom the sky’s never blue but more like mud They say there’s a kind of trick, for staying sane You put the past away and then forget it Release the tap so it leaks out from your brain One is owed a future bright without that pain And to never have a year like that again
