Farewell, 2013!

Birthdays have gone

Pieces carry on

Worries are left to mend

Mysteries lie around the bend

As another year goes by

 

Hellos, goodbyes

We’ll manage to try

Still sorting the rearranged

Smiles remain with much to gain

As another year goes by

 

Steps we’ve taken

Some worth makin’

Awakening from sleep,

The senses can be buried deep

As another year goes by

 

The spits and spats

And fancy that’s

Send the stoic into fear

All managing to survive the year

As another year goes by 

 

The snow, the spring

A lazy day swing

A breeze and a grin

We’ll treasure and recall when

As another year goes by

 

Bounds and leaps

Intentions we keep

We’ve stumbled down roads

We’ve plowed and we’ve sowed

As another year goes by

 

We’ve danced and played

Have tried to obey

We’ve lost and learned

Were rewarded and burned

As another year goes by

 

We’ve grown and aged

We’ve turned the page

May we hope to find

Much peace to our minds

As another year goes by
