Thoughts For The New Year

Here's a little poem I wrote, while I was thinking about this time of year.
Wasted Time?
Another year passes, those days are all gone
I think of time wasted, and know there was none
For those moments I sat, idle and still
Preserved me from feeling over the hill
They gave me the strength to get on my way
And do things I should have done yesterday
All the times that I stood, and quietly listened
To friends of mine, who've thought "it's the end"
Is time I'll get back, with interest you see
When they stop and listen, to what troubles me
Each peaceful moment, with nothing to do
I'll spend admiring the glorious view
Back down the year, the milestones laid
The things I've achieved and memories made
The time is not lost, it's carefully measured
Stored in my mind, and forever treasured.

Hi watersprite: I think this was a very nice poem. We usually think about all the things we have done and how we have enjoyed our year, the things that we are going to miss the most, our goals, the people that have been with us, those that couldn't etc. Sometimes is beautiful, sometimes is sad but I think it's a good exercise.
