Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Moving Forward

School and work resumed today,
The holidays complete,
So now we’re moving forward,
Hoping slips we won’t repeat.

Of course, there will be blunders
And perhaps a huge snafu,
But the ways we botch and bungle
Should at least be fresh and new.

If we’re fortunate, then maybe
We can laugh at our mistakes
And accept that there are times when
We just can’t catch any breaks.

So far things are going smoothly;
Well, at least they are for me,
Thought there’s lots of time ahead 
To mess up 2023.
