Happy end of 2023.......

So I can finally say goodbye,
To a year that made me cry.
I lost so many family and friends,
2023 got me in the end.
So when I say goodbye,
You'll probably realize.
Why I hate it so even though,
I'm not sad to see it go.

For this is the year,
That has run out on me.
So much has happened,
That I couldn't conceive.
Inside myself I can't believe,
Yet I know what is true.
Called down to Doc's knew,
Dementia wasn't great.
Three little words that,
Made me step back a bit.
That I wish I never heard,
That together I will always hate.
That made my Carol cry,
The shock of those three words.
Hit me like a needle in my eyes,
Every passing day I can never forget.
The three little words I'll always hate,
That leaves no doubt about my fate.
Those three little words,
Do not resuscitate.
