Twenty Six
It's that time of year (again)
Where hopes are being redrawn
Some did gladly reign
While others meekly mourned
Some are glad to see the back
'A year of toil and trouble'
Others eye the years almanac
With expectations doubled
Me, it's hard to find a word
That sums up 'twenty five'
From leaving home to things absurd
Just glad to be alive
So, no, I'm not resolving
A list of endless changes
As problems I'm still solving
And fate still rearranges
Instead, I'm going to stay calm
And learn new skills and tricks
Do what I can to steer from harm
And thrive in 'twenty six'
