Happy New Year Acrostic

"Hope deferred makes the heart sick"

Another years end came too quick.

Pressing business came and went,

Peoples love they never sent.

Yesterdays youth dies in the mirror,

New Years day is here!

Every dream has a new sound,

When loss brings a tear.

Yet, the future for us is not clear,

Even tomorrow is not sure to come.

Another day working to make you numb,

Rest assured your day will come, this new year.



For the New Year Acrostic Contest.
