At Year's End

As the year draws to a close
It is time to audit the accounts
And settle debts:
Write the overdue letter,
Fulfill the promise,
Tie up loose ends, 
Wipe the slate
Of nagging shoulds.

As the year draws to a close
It is time to audit the accounts
And tally assets:
Revel in life’s abundance,
Gather your blessings,
Step without fear
In the path
Of new adventures.
