the year of the horse

on the horizon, a New Year will dawn

2025 will soon be gone

2026 is the year of the horse

predictions are good says my google source

so much was gained in the year that now fades

the nation rebuilding from all that was frayed

so many countries, now enjoy peace

so many wars that have finally ceased

no resolutions will I make just to break

the same old me and all of my aches

but overall, I won't change a thing

when the New Year at midnight will ring

I will not make promises, I know I can't keep

I'll try not to injure with words that hurt deep

I'll try to repair all that you undermined

but that one may take a lot more to align
