To Come

The end of year
Is coming fast
The end of year
Has me aghast

Everyone rushing
As if time is ending
Everyone risking
Their healthy living

Please take a moment
To stop and focus
Must you do everything
Like hocus pocus

What can wait
What is urgent
What is essential
What is important

Leave the rest
For another day
Slow your speed
Live your way

Smile and observe
What you have achieved
Over the last 12 months
Your blessings received

What challenges have you conquered
What fears have you overcome
A new year is waiting
To see what you’ll become

Pat yourself on the back
So I can share your glee
Another year is nearly over
On the path to truly be

What does it take
To follow through
To do what you say
And then make sure you do

Is it within
From will or rage
Is it from others
Who are wise and sage

Is it from hope
Of what could happen
A blind faith followed
Despite no pattern

To truly be inspired
Don’t wait for a reason
Just take the first step
And find joy in every season
