So long, So long,My dear friend 2010,
gone and will never be seen again
except among the pages of old newspapers
that are bound for extinction.
You and I knew how to have fun,
we embraced the gift of life,
laughed at each moment we could,
yet we also knew how to cry
for all the battles lost;
battles with disease,
battles with love,
battles with poverty.
You encouraged me to stop and smell the roses
because life might be thorny but the end result is beautiful.
You taught me how to let go of the materialism of mankind.
And as I move on to a destiny unknown,
I thank you most for one thing...
I learned to forgive.
So long, So long,
My dear friend, 2010
