Close the deal

"Somebody once told me..........
Yep what a concept......
We could all use a little........"

I'm just saying the world is changing fast. And so many folks I can't imagine a world without have already up and left..

So merry late Christmas happy early new year
To all my friends and family I wish you joy and beer I mean cheer. 

If there is a talk we planned im still coming I sware
If you need a hand I'm getting older I need at least a week to plan ......the escape..  I mean the date

If you are trying to party for the new year 
That has not been me for sometime 
Why go swimming when water is chummed 
I can set on the sand and drink fine 

So heads up chest out, always forward never back
And if you come to a rough part on the path
Don't slow down hit the gas the faster you go 
The smoother it feels it may pop a tire but
You be through the fire before you start to slow.

If you come to the end of your trail
Smile, and show no fear. this was the agreement
And we must all honor the deal
But God bless you and all your achievements 
Each and everyone of you is loved and lived and that my friends is how we close the deal.

The opening lines, "Somebody once told me... Yep what a concept... We could all use a little," set a contemplative tone, prompting readers to reflect on the profound wisdom and simplicity embedded in those words...
