Happy New Year

Hear the ramblings as the count down now begin.
A few seconds later toasting with champagne or gin,
Pressings tender kisses upon loved ones lips.
Preparing for a new year with precious tips,
Yes, we all make a promise to stop something.

Nearer to our loved ones, our heart does sing.
Even the children at home, watch the ball drop.
Wearing pajamas celebrate, drinking milk or pop.

You and I my dear we kiss and hug for our love so.
Every year the same though we find a different glow.
Again, this year, we find ourselves growing old.
Realizing that our faith and love, worth more than gold

An acrostic that recalls happy celebrations that ring in the new year, Cecil. Very nice entry for Carol's contest! It'll be hard for me to celebrate this year as my father had his stroke on New Year's Day, but perhaps toasting to the memory of a great man will help. Great work, my friend. Wishes for holiday blessings and love are headed your way, Carolyn
