Year In Review
Last year is now gone, another began-
past memories soon filed away.
Cast now in our minds- the good with the bad;
vast are the reviews we can weigh.
For finding the good- if healthy we were-
or happy for most of the time;
more visits we shared with family, friends-
score those as a plus- year was prime!
Sweat those ups and downs, as yin follows yang-
set firmly with good and/or bad.
Fret those loved ones lost from illness and death-
let happiness in- blur the sad.
Face every new day- fill each as we can;
chase worries- keep fine goals in line.
Place the full ones in with those empty few-
grace blessings that made the year shine.
