A Year in Poetry
The year passes by, just like any other
Though we may have our regrets
There is much that can be learned
Much that can be looked back on
As something that added to our character
One way or another
Through the dark times and the good
From one day to the next
We must keep our memories close
So we may change for the future
And for the better.
I stood in the blistering cold
With a ruined car and fearful demeanor
Yet I obtained my license with flying colors
And felt free despite what would happen later
The election didn’t turn out as planned
I feared what may come
But compared to a new friend made this year
It didn’t matter as much
Through ups and downs
Through twists and turns
What happened in my life and others
In a year of chaos
In a year of strife
We must take the good and the bad
And hope for an even brighter future
