Jan Allison Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

Jubilant Joy

Jump up and down to celebrate the New Year
Unleash hugs and kisses on those you hold dear
Bring in the New Year with a glass of champagne
I’ll let go of the past, in the past it should remain
Life’s all too short, now is the time to have fun
And so I'll plan quick trip to see my precious son 
New opportunities will soon be coming our way
Take every chance; we must all live for today

Joy and laughter are needed for a happy life
Overcome obstacles which can bring us strife
You can make a difference just with a smile!
