1/365 Memories

2014 is now just a memory
Was it a friend or a more of an enemy?
So much has happened in the course of a year
Memories to lose and those that are dear.

Friends and family and meetings galore
Parties and games, who would want more?
Weddings, new jobs, new starts all about
New homes and new places where roots may then sprout

Illness and stress that get in the way
Of happiness that should surround you each day.
Let go of the dross and keep all the good
Light a fire, use the bad memories as wood.

2014 had good days and bad
Things made me laugh and made me so mad.
Sunshine and showers, cold frost or some fog
It all appears there, combined in my blog!

Memories surround us, both near and so far
Some that are happy and some less than par.
The memories we make, year after year
Are stored to be accessed when in need of some cheer.

To family and friends I wish happiness and health
Be surround by love and maybe some wealth.
As forward into the future we peer
I just want to say have a Happy New Year!
