Bewitching Hour - Midnight Contest

The clock is ticking
Their counting down
End of one year
Another has begun

Midnight is a special time
Keeping today and tomorrow apart
It's the time for lovers
Many with broken hearts

Midnight the bewitching hour
When things look in a different light
Sadness that was yesterday
Now gives us a day of delight

To be born at midnight
Can cause confusion now and then
One birth sign or the other
Which character signal will she send

Your birth at midnight, 
Time of sadness and gloom
Brings a smile to all
Brightening up the room

A song was written about you
"Gonna wait til the midnight hour
Til love comes tumbling down"
The bewitching hour, is now

This poem is great. There are so many people that are born at that hour. My cousin was born on Christmas day at midnight. He always had parties that lasted two days. The song is great too. Good luck in the contest.... Lucilla
