A Poem By JoAnn

2018 ~ Why The Old Year Needs To Be Gone
The year of disappointments
Disappointments in others, but mainly myself
It needs to be gone
The year I failed to prosper
The year I failed to succeed
It needs to be gone
The year the negatives won over the positives in my life
It needs to be gone
The year spent alone
Without a companion to call my own
It needs to be gone
The year our loved one left this world
Moving on to a place we can only imagine
And never visit
It needs to be gone
The year that began with hopes and dreams
But ended with unbearable grief
It needs to be gone
The year everyone thought would be “The One”
For whatever that meant for them
Only to never arrive
It needs to be gone
What needs to enter now
Fresh and new
Like the breath of a new born baby
Is a New Year……2019
May it be all the dreams fulfilled that its predecessor was not
May we enter it with love and eyes wide open
May we live it boldly without fear
May we end it 365 days later feeling accomplished like never before
May we all learn to love harder than ever before
In every area of life!
Happy New Year ~ 2019
