Hello January

Hello January, my old friend
Did another year so soon expend
It happens to fast to comprehend
I hope this question does not offend
What oh January do you intend
I hope that you have come to mend
A life which seems but to descend
It's all my fault I will not pretend
But tell me what your days portend
Am I to fall or to ascend
Whatever comes I won't contend
With a newborn and dear old friend
I'm with you until the end
Oh January my old friend

Beautifully done Steven! I love the natural way the style comes out in and your thoughts on January - it is a new start and all we can hope for is for it to mend instead of destroy. Very well written!
