I have never had a year, draft no. 2

I have never had a year quite like this one, Lord

It was sweet and sour and salty and bitter

in all the right places

 

Even if I ate the same breakfast every day all year long--

which I almost did

the sweet potatoes tasted so good to me this year--

it was such a sweet year I don’t know

if there will ever be one so nice again

I don’t know if there will not

 

I have never had a year like this one, Lord

where I kept the resolution

made on New Years’

the whole way through,

that was new

 

and I am, too

thank you
