Bittersweet year it has been
Finally coming to an end
These 12 moon cycles
Something else, it has been
Some periods sweet
Some sour
Others bitter
2015
You failed us
Your promises of resolve were never completely fulfilled
Yet again life would have been too easy
One without challenges
Yet still provided 365 days
Each full of equal opportunities
You brought along great new faces
All of positivity
Though personal differences broke some of these relationships
However, there were those that survived
Then there were the old faces
Some continued to stand strong
Some others just broke away
As though it was time
The lost ones found their way home
What a great reunion it was
To see such happy faces.
On life goals,
We achieved a lot together
Built a formidable life
One we both hope would stand firm
Till eternity we pray
While at it,
Challenges came forth
Some easy
Others looking too impossible to beat
If we declared these challenges were no trouble
One would have thought of how implausible it was to believe us
But together we made it
Patience, Determination
Not forgetting you, Perseverance
Who made it all possible and plausible
All the way to the light that kept peering through the surface
Just to win.
Thank You.
Now to 2016
We have a lot more to achieve together
Just as 2015 relays the baton
Just as a new chapter opens
Hope you would be ready
Be ready for those never-ending lists of resolutions
The challenges that come with fulfilling them
We hope to make better use of the opportunities you present in each new 24
Strengthen the sustained relationships
Especially the one with that great face
That jolly face we love to see each day
That company we enjoy every day
Bring us not new faces full of trouble
Or filled with negativity
Rather faces that inspire us
Inspire us to grow
Improve that formidable life we have established
Blessing us with continuity
Ensure that we enjoy a greater harvest.
We pray for more challenges
So as to prosper
In the end
Should posterity judge us
We will not be found guilty.
A great year it should be
Unfolding as planned
All these we ask for
And many more
Considering how benevolent you can be
Amen.
