COME JANUARY, YOU WILL GROW STRONG



Late December dreams clinging to the vine of January 
a quandary thought of  curiosity arises, when will it? 
Over-due vision boards sit on our desk's usury 
end of year expenses, alongside the what if's 
Clinging to the vine of January, a December ordinary

Departed hours bringing us joy but also sadness 
behind the hands of time the heart is willing 
but sometimes we hold things that can't be harnessed
in this life of woe release the things your fearing  
for there is joy and sadness in every hour of madness 

A new beginning is what you need come January days   
be brave dear soldier and you will turn the dime  
Embrace the gold, release things that weigh 
the world will be yours time after time 
Come January days you will grow strong, with life's arrays.
