Looking back on '09, A Cheesy Sonnet

Forgive me for beginning this new year with a cheesy sonnet, but here it is.  Happy new year to anyone who may stumble upon this.

20 o 9 included stuff that’s gone
like chemo, but that’s not to say ‘twas wrong
in fact, must’ve been right, cuz me still here
after taking that poison 4-plus years
but it’s more than poison, let’s talk about god
el na rifa na la, the light of the lord
is my sou
l—i chant it maybe 25
times a day—one of the reasons i’m still alive?
yes, exercise; yes, eating right; yes, sleeping
enough hours; but you know what’s keeping me
here through it all—winter, spring, summer, fall—
true love that radiates beauty like stars
radiates energy that never leaves scars
may our new decade bring love that heals.
