Borrowed Time

It was New Year’s Eve;

Resolution a tradition!

The clock was striking 12; 

As we brought open the book, 

with the pages all blank.

Exhilarated and bewildered by 2020;

About the enigma of its arrival.

This is going to be my year – we thought; 

How naïve! 2020 scoffed.

Resolutions, without an action plan. 

Regrets, enveloped and carried forward. 

Desire to live like there’s no tomorrow; 

But deep down yearning for a brighter one. 

Little did we know;

We are living one day at a time;

We are living within the borrowed time!
