2017

While rocking in the new year in my swing My friend lies shivering against my thigh It brings to mind the coming warmth of spring Tonight the celebration lights the sky Now deep in thought, I wonder what's ahead Will twenty seventeen be good or bad How many tears of heartache will be shed Or will this be the year love makes me glad But gathering my thoughts back to today For me tomorrow is of no concern I do my best each day that comes my way Cause once it's past, I know it won't return Another year of days has come and gone My apprehension rises with the dawn Jan 4 2017
