New year greeting verse

This year's verse: a bit late in coming, and a little too nice for my own liking. But all the same, here is 'Post Mayan'.

The past was hell of a blast
and the present is similar too
Rift in the emo-time continuum
can cause various shades of blue

Ah, bah, who gives a blah?
Loss teaches more than it takes
So learn to pick out those gems
from among the sack full of fakes

Don't fret over what's gone away
Don't worry about what's left behind
Life goes on, generally beautiful
Stay healthy of heart, strong of mind
