New Year

New Year

Another year has come and gone.

In this new year, I will be strong.

May I lose the things that bogged me down,

Stole my soul, and watched me drown.

I’ve adopted fresh insights

And healthier habits.

I’ve stashed bad lessons

In the back of old cabinets.

I’m ready to use the things I’ve learned-

It’s another leaf that I have turned.

So bring forth the days, both happy and sad.

I’m grateful for the ones that I have had.

I’ll hit the ground running, armed to the teeth,

Ready to take in the gifts this year has to bequeath.
