Another Year, Another Dance

Another year to say goodbye.
Another dance for us to try.
Another step--another tune,
Another waltz--another moon.
Another chance to get it right, 
Another kiss--another night.
So let the music softly play.
I've nothing planned until the day.
Another year--at midnight new--
But ah, the dance, is never through!

--Mel

Hey Barbara. I've been traveling the country in search of love, and holding up the family name. Most of my posting has been on FaceBook, and will be, as it's easier. The writes on here were copied and pasted from there, actually. Thanks for the read, and Happy New Year! :)
