As the Old Year Ebbs, Then Dies

As The Old Year Ebbs, Then Dies
by Rick Rucker

As the Old Year ebbs, then Dies,
I can't believe how fast time flies!

It seems like only yesterday, 
That high school came, then passed away.

Then college, too, passed in a minute,
Sometimes, I feel like I'm still in it.

You came too, then you left,
Leaving me, of Love, bereft.

I know, if You can see, 
That You are very glad for me!

I have welcomed to my Life,
The One that says she'll be my Wife,

So We can share our Love and Pain,
And We can both live again!

I know You want the Best for me,
And I hope that you can see

That, although she's not like You, 
I can also love her True!

From your place in Heaven, looking down,
You'll see I no longer wear a Frown!

I am happy, so is She,
Both ecstatic, actually,

You and I will talk, from time to time,
Though mostly through my rhyme,

So, in closing, let me say,
May we both have another Blessed Day!
