There you have it
2020
The long and treacherous
With so much death
Grief
And political strife
Who would have thought
A year with such a clear
Pattern of a number
Thousands equal to tens
Hundreds equal to ones
A pattern that will not occur
For another hundred years
And the one before
At 1919
Considered one of the worst
In American history
Perhaps signifying
The history will repeat
Itself at 2121
After this generation
Old enough to understand
Have all but passed away
But for now those of us
Who have endured through
This year of pandemic
Still alive and welcoming
The new year with hope
May the new year
Bring much awaited joy
And tranquility
Happy New Year
