Almost Gone

Almost Gone

Perhaps I’ll write a line or two
But keep it short, just write a few,

Perhaps today, not say a lot.
Or then again, perhaps I’ll not.

This year I’ve written more than most.
Perhaps today’s a time to coast.

Perhaps I’ll finish out the year
And keep it slow in lower gear.

A day to let this strange year end.
It’s not a year I’d call my friend.

When it is gone, I will not grieve.
I’m rather glad to see it leave.

Whatever this new year may bring
I pray the COVID’s done by spring.

I’ll once again be free to hug
And have no fear I’ll spread a bug.
