So I Wrote Reflect

SO I WROTE REFLECT

             One beautiful morning in December,
                       the sun shone brightly.
                      I looked at the blue sky
                    and thought of what I had.

                      As the year was ending,
                  it was a good time to reflect
                  on what I had accomplished,
            and what I can do for the next year.

                  What I can continually give
              to my loved ones and my friends,
                what I can change to be better
               and how I can show and spread 
                     goodness and kindness.

               So I wrote Reflect to persuade
                 others to reflect on the things
                   they had and they received
                    and to appreciate them all.

            To remember loved ones and friends
        to determine and realize how they can be
         so interesting, astonishing and adoring, 
                   so we can be more caring
                   and can give more loving.  

           To throw a toast to the year ending,
            to the coming new year and to life,
                  a very wonderful blessing.

                So I wrote a poem, Reflect,
         texted them to all the people I know,
            printed and inserted the poem
          in the Christmas cards I sent out.

           And so I wrote a poem, Reflect
              to share and think about.

John Lawless October 20, 2020 at 2:15 PM A very interesting take on the contest theme Marilene and quite appropriate in light of this year and its trials. Thanks for entering the contest Marilene Evans October 20, 2020 at 3:36 PM Thank you. Thank you. That was the first poem I wrote almost two years ago and been writing since.
