The New Year Poem

It's the last weekend of 2024, time to shut the door
     On all our failed diets and friendly sanguinary riots
For another year has passed, time to look beyond
     Mankind conceived of these imaginary timeframes
In order to allow us all to reset, just like video games

We can write off what we didn't finish
     Or we can add another year to the tally 
                             of what we did (or did not) accomplish
We can edit and rewrite our list of things we really want to do
    Or ratchet up our goals and dreams and throw-out those we outgrew 
For as we all know, there is always ample room to improve

It's the last weekend of 2024, time to open up the door
     To new adventures and undertakings, new aspirations and beginnings
For here we are back at the starting line in a new race to be run
      So dig out that marked determination and grit you stashed away
Remember where you put it in the closet this past June (or maybe late May)
 
The new year will be upon us in a few short days
       With life enriching opportunities and chance serendipities, 
                                     unimaginable possibilities and joyous festivities
The future is ours to write and ours to create
     There are endless choices to avoid or to make
Cast aside doubts and reservations for there are new memories to generate
