Good Riddance 2022
Good riddance 2022!
I’m glad to see you go,
But maybe from your negatives
Some joy will start to flow.
A brand new year begins with hope;
The slate is fresh and clean,
So happiness may yet become
A part of our routine.
No illnesses, no canceled flights,
No hatred, anger, death –
Just sweetness and a sense of peace
Imbuing every breath.
Though optimism isn’t
Something natural for me,
Perhaps life will be much improved
In 2023.
