Goodbye

While reflecting on the year 2020.

It brought a tear too my eye.

Nothing but memories of misery.

And I wondered why.

The year was very bad for me personally.

Then add the virus,  that could make me die.

I consider myself an old man.

And this has been the worse year yet,  that is no lie.

Then I sensed some relief,  2020 is almost over.

And I let out a long sigh.

I will make next year better.

A very serious effort I will try.

And the lessons from last year I have learned.

I will certainly apply.

And after I am done with last year.

To last year I say.

Farewell,  Adios,  And Goodbye.

A poem which exudes determination and perseverance. One which I think we can all relate to.
Thank you for this
Keith
