It's Now 2024

It is now 2024 On 2023 I have closed the door, It's now just memories of that past time Unto them I had sang Auld Lang Syne. That time was seemingly a long time ago It went away when a new January wind did blow, And now as a brand new year does start I will also being with a new attitude and a brand new heart. I remember my friends from last year But, not from one of them do I still hear, I guess when 2023 had left They too went with the wind and my bereft. I will forget all the lies and the pain and sorrow Those are now in my tomorrow, I guess that was a very good thing When on New Year's I heard the bells ring. I remember what I was put through I remember the lies and the broken promises too, Then on New Years I was thinking and contemplating While for good cheer I was anxiously waiting. Then when I saw the ball falling In my ear I then heard a whisper as if a calling, Then with concern I heard someone say I'll be renewing my pain if I forget about my yesterday. I remember all the promises I kept and the good deeds done I remember helping others and the errands I did run, Then I remembered of what I never received Reminding me on how I was used and lied to and deceived. No broken promises or hurt from last year am I going to allow in As this New Year for me does slowly begin. I'm starting a brand New Year without worries from her or him I'm starting 2024 without none of them. Randy L. McClave
