Happy New Year

for my dames still friends
in spite of dousing the flames
i hope our new year's promise
refuses to fade
no resolutions, just love to carry us on
never worrying where we're at till it's all gone

so when the ball drops prompt
and heads turn to lock gaze
time will go slow mo, freeze-framing the last page
i'll try to write a new chapter remembering your name
players take to the field, it's time for the game

loved the first four lines very generous, those promises are just hard to keep sometimes lol but that shouldn't stop us from still trying, enjoyed your new years write,..p.d.
