The Ledger of My Life

As end of year is drawing near I pause to view my balance sheet; my assets squared to debts compared reveal my worth...my year complete. The gains I made and debts I paid while navigating through these times with friends I’ll share as I prepare to close the books ‘fore midnight chimes. And so with pen I thus begin my final entries to compose so balance sheet will be complete as ledger of my life I close. December 28, 2019
