I must
reach for the best
I must
know that tenderness
will bring joy and happiness
I must
make my world turn
with kindness, not hate
I must
I must seek
search, participate.

Have I been helpful, have I’ve been the best?
Looking back upon the year
What would I change, what would I let rest?
No time to dwell, no time for remorse
For I must move forward, look ahead
To the year yet to unfold
And
Anticipate it to be full of wonders
Yet to be told.

I don’t need to write each day
Nothing says I must, I may.
Not only of heartache do I tell a written tale
With knowing words that ache
As t’s are crossed and hope is there and all I’ve got.
But still, no one, nothing says
I must, I may write these words
Swirling in my head.
