Each new year
is welcomed.
And celebrated.
Little knowing
what it holds.
The last year
we traipsed through
oft forgotten,
in the welcoming
of the new.
As the New Year
prances in
the Last Year
shuffles out. Quietly.
Feeling dejected.
This year, I resolve
to not just welcome
the New Year,
but to celebrate
the year that was.
Thank you, 2025.
