Poem 45: New Year

Christmas is over and a new year has begun

The Bills and the Patriots seasons are done

Buffalo blew their lead and in overtime lost in the end

New England even with “Brady” could not contend

Who wins the Superbowl? I haven’t a clue

I just want to say I am proud of what Buffalo was able to do

Rookie quarterback Josh Allen and this team had quite a year

I’m confident that in next season’s playoffs they will appear

Of course the question about Brady is was this his last game?

I wonder how his ego will be without all of this fame

Whether he goes or he stays I could not care less

I’ll just leave it to the so called experts to continue to guess

Now let’s talk about hockey, you know, Canada’s sport

Two tournament championships I like to report

The Spengler and the World Juniors our nation both won

It’s nice to know that as far as this sport goes, we are still number one

If anyone watched the Junior’s comeback, they accomplished quite a feat

To witness that third period’s heroics was definitely a treat

So the new year has started and I made no resolutions

I am not in the business of trying to offer any solutions

This year is still into its infancy with so many days to go

What it has in store for us, we never know

Here’s hoping that everyone’s ups outweigh their downs

The times that you smile outdistance your frowns

That  this year you accomplish something you couldn’t before

That when December thirty first comes you are wanting for more

For those who experienced so much suffering in the year that just past

I hope you are able to find some sense of relief and hope that it will last

I wish much happiness and goodness that it fills your heart

If not in its entirety, at least a small part

I have no comprehension of how you are coping  or how you must feel

I can only state that I’m sorry and pray you continue to heal

I hope the following weeks and months will help in your quest

I only have my condolences to offer and wish you the best

So “Happy New Year” to all is what we are supposed to say

I hope this proves to be true and I’ll be on my way
