In Review

When I look back
On the year just past
It is like a lightning storm
To me.
Quick and explosive
Parts hit close to home
Others hit farther away.
There were highlights
And lowlights.
When I think back
And probe my deepest
Memories,
This year gone by
Was my best overall.
So far,
Even though the ratio
Of good over bad was
Fifty/fifty right down
The middle,
This is good.
It leaves room
For the year to come
To be even better.
I don't know what I
Would or will do
If it had been
A perfect year.
