New Year
A brand new year will soon begin…new page,
one sheet of twelve to see upon the wall;
it cleanly hangs, no scribbles, signs of age.
New Year...so many days to get things done;
on a clean slate, set new plans big and small,
before the twelve fly off, each one by one.
This year, another gift of life’s delight,
again to watch all seasons come and go
and feel the surge of Spring’s renewal rite.
Perhaps to now enjoy in better ways,
the Summer sun and flowers; Autumn's glow,
then Winter wonderland of snow-filled days.
A brand new year begins so soon…new page...
This year, another gift of life’s delight.
