I sit here inspired,
inspired but slightly tired,
I sit here and I think of the year,
and of what I admired,
and I find inspiration for next year,
is already forming in my mind,
and I find solitude in the closure of time,
and I find a peace,
knowing that you are at rest,
in your grave,
and knowing that for you I did my best,
and I am glad that the year,
was not filled with sadness,
and I am glad that we, all us friends,
had laughter and smiles,
and travelled far and wide,
and I am glad we had so many things to learn,
and so many new people to meet,
for what a beautiful thing is life,
when it is so full and busy,
and with happiness replete,
and yes, you had a good life too,
and I sit here at the end of the year,
and as the end of the year comes to a close,
I look up at the stars,
and I ponder them,
and I ponder how quickly life goes,
how quickly life goes.
