Almost Done

There is no reason to be sad

Nothing is making me mad

2021 took all I had

I said goodbye to my beloved Kiddo

Watched a war of ALS vs Uncle Joe

who wins, who loses nobody you know

Pandemic infecting all over earth's land

Happy couples traveling life in a van

Instead of wed they end up dead

Boys and girls convincing suicide

Is a right of life in a land where we allow the govern of man over the woman

in the end we are all human

Life just dont make sense

everything has its end

now we begin with another form of COVID

2021 we are forced to live with it

Another rounds with boosters are what lies ahead

I wait here in my bed for the pill

I dont surrender to the ill

in the eye of the storm always be still

Yet so many living outside in tents

while we walk on to the ballet and harry potters cursed child

growing fat on fantasy fills our smile why can't we solve this problem

what can we do

Was my love true

maybe its why we arent meant to be

what lesson did you teach me

My family wants my greeting

Yet they are never including

We said we would go see holiday decoration on monday when everyone was off

Now they say they will go on Friday but I will be at my job

I dont know the reason for their thoughts

The sun came out that day

no check in came our way

I feel blue again but I surrender all this pain

the feeling of eternally being left out never leaves the house

i surrender the pain

Oh 2021 you let it fall like eternal rain

on this last week God is washing this earth clean

I made my sins too i could be less mean

we could make it less sad

So 2021 I give you all I have

I can only pray 2022 will be the love to end the lonely walk and forever hold my hand

He loves and leaves but I dont stay empty

God holds my stand

I know he was lost as I am

2021 took the sweetest life and left me alone in the land

Yet solitude is serenity

There is still strength in me

We are in it for the long haul

So many fight harder battles

Its hard to resist the call

Let us no longer be sheep and cattles

2022 is coming

Already the threat of pandemic makes it bleak

Yet I heard the promise of the hummingbird

fluttering on doing its job to keep earth strong

Surrender all the stress in me

My house is still messy but I breathe

I still live where my Papa raised me

I stayed long so I can feel his protection ever strong

There is no regret even with all the wrong

This earthly journey in 2021 is almost done

Hopefully 2022 will be full of eternal love

Thats all humans want in the checkerboard of so much more

There is a lot between heaven and earths door

We are more than flesh and bone

Thats why poetry is invented so we can hear the secret whispers of the soul

I am grateful 2021 though it is almost done for this earthly journey is my own

I think you speak for a lot of us about this year coming to an end. Though I feel it will stay in our memories for a very long time after. Thanks for sharing your poem with us.
