Now that I can look back on 2010
I see my good times, and also my bad times
The highs, and also the lows
The joys and also the sorrows
Successes, but also the failures
Accomplishments, but also tasks left undone.
To those I brought happiness,
I say I am happy I was the medium
To those I caused anguish, I say sorry.
Now that I look ahead to 2011
I know there will be good times, but also the not so good times
There will be highs and the lows
There will be joys, but sorrows as well
There will be gains but also losses
Accomplishments, but failures too
Hopes, yet also despair
Moments when I will be strong, and others when I am weak.
I do not seek perfection but only balance and strength
To build on the good
And learn from the bad.
