Ode to 2019
ODE TO 2019
At the end of every year we look back on what we’ve done
In preparation for new beginnings, new visions and the year to come
Some memories we bring forward, the best of what occurred
Some we should let go so repetition is not observed
Overall take the year ahead one day at a time
Live in the present and in the divine
Seek to say “I love you” each and every day
Not only to others but to yourself in every way
Create confidence through the small steps of achievements
Each success attained, a self-accomplishment
Face your fears and change your mindset
You are greater than what you regret
Remember change is the only constant
Trying to be perfect is exhausting and imprudent
Knowledge is not wisdom, seek experience and clarity
Find your own narrative, make your own pedigree
Be deliberate and consistent in your actions
A visionary not a dreamer, filled with emotions not emoticons
In order to move forward acknowledge where you’ve been
The good the bad and the ugly created the amazing reflection you see
Age is about attitude be as young as you desire
Wisdom is about evolving and keeping the inner fire
Remember – you are so much stronger than you think you are
So as the clock turns into 2019, may you find your life’s repertoire.
