End of the Year Thoughts

A LIST OF END OF THE YEAR THOUGHTS (MY ATTEMPT AT A RHYME) At the end of the year I will take time to think Without any fear I will write down in ink. One of the things that I know is true Poetry has become a great love When feelings have turned blue. Within all the push and all of the shove To take the time and gather your thoughts To climb into your head And pull out the rot To create a work of art and then go to bed. I love to enjoy the beauty of souls The ones that are different and not too grand The ones that are very content in their roles They are happy to lend you a hand. I enjoy the laughter of a child When everything piles up against you Making obstacles seem so mild It gives a complete and different view. When forming a list of things that I like It would be so remiss Not to mention my bike. To ride on a trail is certainly a bliss Enjoying such nature as flowers and turtles slows you down in a good way To overcome hurdles It gives you some time to stop and pray Which brings me now to my list’s very best... To spend time with God And take much needed rest! I hope you do not find that this list is too odd For this is the secret to enjoying this place We’ve been put here to love, To seek out God’s face And rise above all the push and shove. To love our fellow men and (women) To be a friend and shed some light To encourage another and in addition Help someone win their fight.
