Adieu 2017, Welcome 2018 Poem by Doris Cornago

On the threshold of another year, I take a deep breath and muster all my courage to confront 2017, where I have been, the difficulties I've faced, and the monsters I've battled. Having my man with me through it all have made all obstacles surmountable. They say I am a fool for putting all eggs in one basket, his and mine all mixed together, but I'll say this to my detractors (if they dare to come out in the open) - this is my life, you can't take it. Perhaps, the greater fool is one who preserves herself/himself for someone who might never come.
