2015

Three hours left till the sun sets
In this last day of the year
It's so hot, as hot as it gets
Not a cloud in the sky so clear

"Time to write some reflection", I thought
review the year that's been hard to explain
But inspiration escaped me like a drought
I wrote, delete and wrote again in vain

So I try to go with words that rhyme
Hope it will help the fuzzy mind
Clarity should come just in time
So here I go with my rewind

It's been a year of courage
Started a business and listened to my heart
Free like a bird out from a cage
Worked hard like a horse with a cart

It's been a year of solitude
Wrote my first book in my house on the hill
Kept at it with a positive attitude
Believe in myself, I said, if not who will

It's been a year of wonder
My body needed some TLC
'Slow down' that's the doctor's order
I healed through prayers, herbs and the help of my lemon tree

It is hard to find a word with all the meaning
2015 is just a start of everything
Faith and Courage have kept me going
and Gratefulness I offer each night and morning
