Adeus 2016! Poem by Rose Kanana

Dearest 2016
I would want to bid you good bye
But is it too early to say adeus?
You brought new challenges into my life
I had the grace to face them and conquer most
I made the year's resolutions
But I am only happy to report that three quarter were fulfilled
I broke a quarter-maybe I am not a go-getter
It could have been reasons beyond my control
For some, I sat back and let the wind flow with it
But I am glad the pollen could have fertilized another persons resolutions

Now that you are about to go
I want to thank you for the blessings of my new friends
I want to thank you for my family ties
I want to thank you for my professional ties
I want to thank you for my haters-they strengthened me
I want to hug 2017 in style and remind her that I am worth the salt
To my fellow poets-hats off you kept to the tenets of poetry
Your work is amazing in diverse dimensions
To the sisters and brothers I met- you are awesome ladies
We are yet to laugh hopefully in 2017


Chao, Adeus, goodbye, kwaheri 2016
