December Poem by Kavya S Babu

December is a remembrance-
Of another story of survival,
Of another chance lost,
The dreams that danced
And the wishes buried,
The contentment of life
And the choking guilt,
The few moments of surprise
And the long list of dead hopes,
The names; new, never to forget
And the faces that faded away,
The memories to cherish
And the times to never remember,
The new horizons
And the last flaps of old lives,
The many cheers
And the many tears.
Dear December,
After all the breaking and fixing,
The trying and failing,
The tearing and mending,
Finally we made it.
Waiting for me
And waiting for you,
We made it upto today.
To pen this again,
I 'll live another year,
Seeking you,
While you seek me
To relive this day:
The day full of- love for life,
Unending stories of resilience,
Joy of survival
And hope for hoping.
