2011 - Day 365

As this year comes to a close,
Winding down that shadowed road,
Sit on back and reminisce,
Your hopes, your dreams, all that you wished.
How you feel about last year,
Overcoming what you fear,
Those you met on random nights,
Exploring all the views and sights,
Experiencing the good and bad,
Sometimes happy, sometimes sad,
Every day learn something new,
Little things and big things too,
Again, to think of all the fun,
Under the stars and in the sun,
A whole new year now waits ahead,
So say the things that should be said,
Don't be afraid, this is YOUR life,
Always rise above the strife,
Most important, those you know,
Relationships are meant to grow,
Friends to be and friends forever,
Just remember-
Never say never.

2011 - Day 364

Sleepless nights not in Seattle,
When every night is like a battle,
To wish, to wish upon a star,
Knowing that the distance far,
Thinking hard and getting nowhere
Sometimes Christmas trees are so bare,
Want to keep the lights turned on,
Want to sing a Christmas song,
Looking forward optimistic
Twenty twelve a year to risk it,
Snowing, snowing everywhere
On the slopes of the Big Bear.
