December’s Soapbox

What more can be written about a year that has shown us so much

a year that has changed us all

whether we wanted to or not.

They say in moments of chaos

we are meant to stay firm and resolute,

but it would be a lie to say that was always true.

As the years go by it seems we always look to the next one

in hopes of something better, brighter, and full of light.

Yet it seems the world has a mind of it own

and is showing us things we’d rather ignore or hope it goes away.

Would I rather live my life with a comfortable lie or wake up to an ugly truth?

May the days and months ahead bring a peace of mind, joy and good health.

Regardless of how dark it looks,

the Sun will always shine through.
