L Milton Hankins Poet Couplet

The End of This Year

The end of this year is a time for reflection
For some, even cover ups to avoid detection
To lay to rest the bungles and rumbles
The fashions, fads, and unintentional fumbles
Time to admit the year was not very good
Whether you were rich or lived in the hood
Especially after COVID-19 showed its ugly face
Where safety seemed possible only in space.

The end of this year is a time for resolutions
For making decisions that provide good solutions
Making the new year better for all concerned
Living the lessons of the past we have learned
Hopefully, with friends and family free to call
May the coming New Year be the best of all.
