Was it the same familiar theme?

Or did I fulfill a dream?

Did I say good-bye to the ones who made me cry?

Or did I laugh so much it was hard to keep a dry eye?

Am I just a year older?

Or did I explore and become wiser?

Did a closed door bring feelings of rejection?

Or did newly opened doors brim with recognition?

Every negative experience,

Is followed by a positive experience.

Don’t look back too long and stare,

Only glance at the narrow rear-view mirror.

Keep looking forward,

The panoramic view is much clearer.

Happy New Year!
