Disappearing New Year

Tickling their tummy's with tinkling bells that twinkle sounds rumbling upon the roof of eight tiny reindeer tangled lights and snow transforming a sparkling night a flickering fire with sparks floating with loves desires Casting a spell with dreams of toy’s and new games small voices whispering in bed with exciting emotions crackling sounds of Christmas wrapping while giggling New bikes and sleighs awaiting smiles on Christmas Day a hog under ground predicting our spring weather With heart shaped boxes and diamond rings awaiting Kisses and romantic dinners with nights of desire Ash on Wednesday with Lint next then Purim Time springs forward with colorful flowers blooming Little green men pots of gold and four leaf clovers Passing over Palm Sunday then Muslim and Hindu With all becoming fools on this first day of April Good Friday coming after Thursday then eggs are hidden Then evil appears taking our money away on Tax Day My day now called May Day then Cinco de Mayo All Mothers honored then Memorial Day on the way Of course Fathers Day is next with fireworks on the 4th Then all go into labor this one day a year on Labor Day Spooks, goblins and candy treats with witch's on a broom Veterans honored and flowers placed upon their tombs The turkey arrives all golden brown as we get stuffed Black Friday’s appear with shopping pushing and shoving Getting ready for the first stanza up above This circle of life happens each year some may see, Others will be missed a loss to all of our hearts, As they disappear from our lives never to see another, Happy New Year.
