"Years come and go so fast- from start to end
                    yet, each that passes- is a dividend."
                                                          _by Poet

Another year has quickly passed away; 
   from start to finish, most will so agree-
just in a blink, each twenty-four-hour day
   dissolved within the fleeting twelve-month spree.

The seasons too, each year, by four divide-
   and they in, months of three, present contrast;
Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter- so provide
   those welcomed changes, making time fly fast.

And, so a year noway slows down to stall-
   last January passed not long ago.
And here we are- December did enthrall
   with Christmas- then, advanced the New Year flow.

That measurement of time- another year-
   does come and go at will, we know it's true;
to start afresh- in twelve months, disappear.
   Accept each new one as life's gift to you.
