2013....looking back

[deponti]

A fairly eventful, momentous year.
Some moments brought a tear.
Many brought a smile.
Each phase lasted a little while.

There was the end of my ailing marriage.
The horse separated from the straying carriage.
There was the birth of my dear grandson.
I took care of him ...and the elder one.

Grandchildren are one of life's great joys...
Whether they are girls or boys.
I enjoyed the love of my daughter
And the joys that her life brought her.

I spent a lot of time in another home.
The baby kept me there...I didn't roam.
I managed, through it all to click and write.
I was happy, I seemed to be doing something right.

I fought major issues in my mind, and life.
It was a time of very great strife.
Meditation and medication are seeing me through.
I still dip occasionally..and am blue.

I'm nowhere near where I want to be.
In the mirror I want to see
A much better person than I am now.
I will keep trying...that's what I vow.

Here are my wishes to all of you, too.
I hope this year brings happiness to you.
I must say it gives me pleasure
To wish my friends...my greatest treasure.
