Onward, To the Next

At times, this year showed we are blessed.
And other times, it left us vexed.
But we have passed beyond the text
And now move onward, to the next.
Ignore the headlines dragging down,
And turn misfortune upside-down.
What’s done is done.  We did now drown.
And now we’re next to wear the crown.
