The year that was

The year 2011,  
International Year of Forests
International Year of Chemistry
Bombing in Moscow
Tsunami in Japan
Nature rages
What’s the Message?

Osama shot dead
Chile's Puyehue volcano erupts
Famine in Somalia
Gaddafi executed
Beautiful Elizabeth Taylor died
Steve Jobs followed…
Many other Shenanigans

For me, seventh year Anniversary
Of a leaving
Stopped mourning
A hope of a new beginning
With promises to keep
A destination to reach
For 2012 hopes of promises
Fulfilled
Dawn of something new
And something old too…
Yeah well, who knows.
