"Back To December"

There is something about December...

And letting those last few days of the year go

The calendar has run out of numbers

And this final month will soon be done

Reflection seems to run deep

Sifting through the moments gathered

Happiness seems to always battle it out for first place

The runner up is life...

The heaviness of sadness and bitter hours are counted

We try to remind ourselves that the pain makes us real

It keeps our eyes at attention

Hands upon the wheel we direct ourselves through

The ups and down's in life follow our heart beats

If it was a flat line...

We would not exist...

Don't let your past mistakes make a mess of your present

Heed the warnings and lessons learned

Yesterday and tomorrow are the days you cannot change

But this day lived

Is filled to the brim with possibilities

Remember that saying it means nothing if your actions betray you

If your gonna be brave and paint with all the colours

Why not use them all and let them shine bright

Because oddly enough...

Ripping off the band aid helps with the healing

If its all that you can do...

Do it well

Life happens always

With out without you

Only when the darkness settles in

Is when we miss the brightest moments the most

So as the page turns another chapter in our history

Let the promise of a new hope begin

Its a step in an exciting adventure

Our story makes us stronger

Its the foundation laid

So this coming New Year

Start within.
