Nothing or everything

All things come to pass, the year that was

Was so many things yet in ways was almost nothing

Beginning with much to be thankful for

Life itself had been risked but not taken

Little boy who had been so vulnerable grew wiser

I grew wiser and took some long overdue steps

But all that merely the start of the year that was

I had another addition to my many titles, proud to wear it

I discovered a strength in myself I knew little of

Several friendships were made, others reaffirmed

The flame of love reignited, that's where things turned

Apprehension and confusion strived, ending the year that was!
