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.

Yes always two sides the happening as the old year draws to is close - thank you dear Andy for the positive outlook as the new year comes into view. May your postings continue to delight and upbuild us all.

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