Feeling in a haze
With emotions a bit heavy
For the end of the decade
I am now ready
There have been good times
Along with times that were sad
Trying my best
To overall be glad
Movement has been slow
As I’ve raced against time
Stuck in muddy moments
But will soon be time to shine
A chance for change
And a time to renew
A hope for courage and clarity
To embrace a path true.
Soon to be a new decade
A brand new day and year
As we close in on 2020
I send a wish for good cheer

Excellent poem. By the way, you share the same last name with my step-father! He was originally from Philadelphia.

Thanks Linda, I appreciate that. Definitely wanted to end off on a positive note while still acknowledging the tougher times and feelings.

I enjoyed reading your poem very much. I can certainly understand the sensation of being "stuck in muddy moments". I love the optimistic ending of the poem.
