On the Last Day
On the last day of the year, do you
Look to what lies ahead
Or do you think back to the months
You’ve made it through instead?
It’s natural to want to plan
For all the coming days,
But sometimes past events are stuck
Within your mind’s displays.
This eve demands a reckoning,
A time of taking stock,
When what we’ve done or haven’t
Measures up against the clock.
And as it ticks to midnight,
We should try our very best
To just focus on the positive
And give all else a rest.
We can’t start 2026
With an unblemished slate,
But hopefully we’ll find, this year,
Enough to celebrate.
