This Year

Another year has made its way
A time for getting older
Scope to grow not just through age
A chance to become bolder 

It's all about the learning curve
Through peaks and turns we nourish
This journey has its ups and downs
Which can but help us flourish

A point to take it by the scruff
Ignite all pastures new
Brush away the things of past
That made us feel so blue

A year to bring about some change
Which could alter any season
Time to reap just what we sow
And churn purpose into reason

Never ceases to amaze me how years come and go but still manage to leave an impact within us all.

This is a very nice rhythmic piece of poetry, the words fill the heart and roll gently off the tongue. Emile.
