Well oh my God, it's a surprise to me
One plus one plus one makes three
You were there for ONE, and then for TWO
You'd think by now there was nothing new
But I'm here to say, there's plenty more
That a bloke like me still can explore
The year took off with a trip to Philly
A New Years wedding (no not me, silly)
Within a flash, we're two months in
And Carribean sun for a visa with gin
We flew to Aus for Dads six oh
Only there for a week, left me feeling so-so
Back in New York and the baking got real
Cakes, and flans, and a Bourke Street meal
I hosted events and met many for dinner
Starting to realize that I'm no longer a beginner
But the thing I'm most proud of, the thing I love most
Is the community that's building, for that I can boast
Your stories, your wins, your lives overseas
It makes it all worth it, the forest from trees
As the year ended, Australia on fire
The distance felt real and the outlook real dire
So let's take a moment, and review what we've got
We need to remember, that it's really a lot
