As she set foot into the last day of the year,

it made her halt for a while & ponder upon things that unfolded throughout the year

Some brought cheers, some brought tears,

& some gave courage that melted away her fears.

Spring, summer, rain & winter enlightened the entire year with their presence

As nature gives a chance to each season to unfold & spread its fragrance

Things worked upon together have turned into memories,

making her smile while she relived those past glories

In pursuit of happiness, some resolutions were made,

Some journeyed the four seasons & some happily got strayed.

The last leaf of the year revealed what was concealed at the start,

making her realise, agony and pleasure could be balanced if life is lived like an art.

As she set foot into the last day of the year,

it made her halt for a while & ponder upon things that unfolded throughout the year

Some brought cheers, some brought tears

& some gave courage that melted away her fears.
