Tomorrow's New Day.

Goldfinch60



Well it’s the last day,

The last day of the year,

A year that many of us

Want to forget.

So much illness,

So much misery.

Not going out,

Not meeting family,

Or friends.

And many died.

 

Was everything bad?

Not everything,

As neighbours came closer,

Closer together.

Helping each other

In these times of trial.

 

As I walked by My River

People smiled,

We would say hello

Then utter more words

As each day happened,

Forgetting our sorrows,

Laughing with each other,

Enjoying Natures Realm.

 

Yes it has been a bad year

But we are still here,

And the New Year starts tomorrow

So go forward into it,

Knowing that it is the start,

The new start to our lives.

            Not that 'tomorrow' that never comes, cos then it's 'today?' lol. What's that other saying: 'Yesterday is....' Or summat like that.

            • Goldfinch60

              Today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday.

              • orchidee

                  'Yes it has been a bad year
                  But we are still here,
                  And the New Year starts tomorrow
                  So go forward into it,'
                  Indeed Andy,
                  just look at Sir Alan Sugar: earlier in the year he denounced COVID as some hypothetical propaganda campaign because 'no one near him had been effected',
                  this week he announced he lost his sister to that same 'phantom plague',
                  just goes to show: we shouldn't take our survival so lightly...
                  Happy New Year, stay safe

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Thank you Mek. May your New Year be filled with happiness.
