Think Back On 2018

Examine 2018 and spin it around
  Stand it on its head; turn it upside down

Thank back all the way to its start
  Now that the time has come to part

Was it 'Ho-hum?" -- just another year?
  Or was it precious? Was it dear?

How much did you actually achieve
  How much unfinished did you abandon and leave?

Did you bring a smile or two to a strange face
  Did you add any value to the human race?

Did you stay in touch with treasured friends
  Did you shore up relationships that were at loose ends?

Did you keep any significant resolutions
  Or did you grant yourself absolution?

Did you help make this world a wee bit better
  Or reflecting on the year gone by, would you rather forget her?
