2023 Is Finally Over

Not my favorite year

2023 is no longer here.

I have to admit it was not my favorite year.

I remember pain and more and more pills

that did not cure my numerous ills.

Then finally the doctors heeded

my request for the test that was needed.

Surgery followed, and finally, I was well.

The rest of that year would be fine, I could tell.

The last day of school, and vacation was finally here.

I was happy since visiting my daughter was near.

Woke up the next day though feeling feverish, and I cried some tears.

I can’t believe Covid got me after all these years.

Staying home for 10 days for not a lot of fun.

No vising family, no basking in the sun.

Now I can only hope that 2024 will be kinder,

bring me health, and make me not just older, but wiser.

So here’s to 2024! Happy New Year!
