C-P 33 and 34

P.C. # 33 ====== Many eves of New Years, unbidden, come to mind As back the years unravel till It's nineteen sixty-nine Six-year-old sister and I at age ten, More tired than either of us Had ever been, Were both wide eyed with wonder Albeit some fatigue Amusement held us spellbound, With a sense of great intrigue We watched Dick Clark, that host with the most And we loved him, you must understand For we loved his show and so wanted to go to... Remember? American Bandstand?! Our sleepy young eyes had a happy surprise To watch the last moment tick way With that Ball Drop descend, when it got to the end We shouted, for it was New Year's Day! The seventies began with the clock's Ticking hand, And we left the sixties behind Memories gift which I found in the drift And the gift was all wrapped up in time I still see the faces over years stretching spaces As gently, they're brought back to mind P.C. # 34 ====== Tomorrow brings a brand-new year "To hope and life!" We toast and cheer May old acquaintance be forgot? Perchance, but some? I sure hope not For maybe as the past years ends Old acquaintance become friends
