As the ticking of the clock comes closer
I stop and think about my last year

The year that has been a decade
A century
An eternity

I think about the people I have met
The people I won’t forget
People who won’t forget me

I think about the lives I have changed
And the lives I hope to change in the future

I think about the people who are not here
And how their families have made sure their memory goes on

I think about John
All the time

In my every waking second
He penetrates every being of my soul
And will forever

As Winter has turned into Spring
My sadness has gone from gray to sunny

I am happy once again

As the sun sets on my Winter
I hope to move on to bigger and better things

Spring and Summer
