It's been one year since I left my life
One year since I've had no wife
One year since I've had the thrill
Of cooking on my back porch grill
One year to accept my loss
One year of not having a boss
One year to believe that I'll be fine
Living all alone for the first time
One year to meet new friends
One's that I know upon which I can depend
One year to be socially present
After years of social irrelevance
I certainly have made of most of this year
Have great experiences that I will always hold dear
Living life like I've never lived before
Learning who I am and learning what's in store
I'm looking forward to the coming year ahead
It will be full of love and void of dread
I'll hold close those that wish to stay
My eyes will tear if they go away.
But whatever happens I'll continue to be me
Because, after all, who else should I be?
I ask you all to join this celebration
Of peace, love, and joyous jubilation.
