A Year

A year can be YAY
filled with birthdays and smiles

A year can be HEY
let's measure our adventures in miles

A year can be SAD
filled with pain and too many tears

A year can be GLAD
look, I am still here

A year is just TIME
measured in minutes and days

A year that is MINE
can be spent many ways

A year can pass SLOW
every second feels like a waste

A year can be like WOAH
slow down, what's your haste

A year should be MEASURED
by the memories you've had

A year should be TREASURED
both the good and the bad

A year should be used to GROW
learn as much as you can

A year just never KNOWS
what God may have as a plan

Each year is GIFT
and should be handled with care

Next year isn't PROMISED
and you may not be there.
