Its that time of the year (Again)

The end of a year, and the beginning of another

Is a point in time that is very reflective

Makes one wonder of things gone by

And how they could have been better

But forgetting that they could have been worse too

Its a time to recollect the things

You thought you 'd do, but never did

People you thought you'd meet, but never did

Fences you thought you'd mend, but never did

Hopes you thought would fruition, but never did

What about the other things that did happen

People you never thought you'd meet , but you did

New things achieved that was never on the cards

Bridges that were built that were never conceived

The new strength that you found when hopes were dashed

What's a year but 365 days completed, and more ahead

That's true of any day in the calendar

Still, in this day and age of fast paced action

Its as good a time as any to pause and reflect

On what has gone, and what is still to come...
