Goodbye 2012

Too long, too much, too many
But here it ends now.
Goodbye 2012, honey!
This year was really wow!

January brought some surprises
New faces, hugs, took a bow!
Foes in friendly disguises
God! you trusted them how!

February, March, April, May,
Lived life like here and now
Days went splendidly in making hay,
Had a new "best friend" alone for all favors to bestow

June, July, and August
Passed quickly under Summer's brow
Smothered Reason with faith's dust
But lo! storm arrived all blindfolds to withdraw.

September's zeal soon became October's regret
Completed a year of amity with a rise-to-fall show
Revelations, accusations, apologies, and guilt met
Surely, these things you had to know!

November's chill with a cold forgiveness
Right or wrong, this was the path mind preferred to go
Days went in the hope of a new genesis
To treat all alike with yet unhealed wounds though!

Dear December once brought me and always taught me
No matter what you have to grow
Begin again from where you left your days of glee
A new year will rise just when all woes you'll throw...
