New Year's Eve Poem by Angela Wybrow

It is the last day of December: New Year's Eve -
A time for us to reflect on all that we've achieved.

Some of us may have lost quite a bit of weight,
While others may have discovered a life-long mate.

Some of us may have vowed not to eat any more meat,
Or other foods which, once upon a time, we loved to eat.

Some of us may have cut down our intake of wine,
Found a new interest, or taken up a new past time.

Some of us may have embarked on a totally new career,
Given up smoking, or conquered a really massive fear.

Some of us may have returned to adult education,
Or jetted off to our fave dream holiday destination.

Some of us may have relocated to a brand new pad,
Or become a proud mother, or an equally proud dad.

Some of us may have purchased a brand new car,
Or reunited with family and friends who live real far.

Some of us may now be fitter, having joined a local gym,
Or relocated abroad following a seemingly sudden whim.

Some of us may have found ourselves brand new friends,
Or moved on from a relationship which was at an end.

Some of us may have tidied out: had a good old declutter,
Or stopped visiting the betting shop for another flutter.

New Year's Eve is a good time for personal reflection,
And a time when our lives may move in a new direction.
