Old Year Eve"

This last day off to sleep

It was great to see it weep

 

365 days went rolling by

Only 1/4th left to die

 

Shall i cry, bidding goodbye

So many memories, i need to cry

 

Nineteenth year of a Millennium celebration 

Making it's way to handsome jubilation 

 

All the lessons learned and unlearned 

Gifted us with hope, peace and felt loved

 

As the evening falls, night silently crawls

I sit here brooding past as a new year builds its walls

 

Shall we celebrate or shall we bemoan 

As an year bring us closer to growing old

 

Safe were the days, pleasantly we reload

Wiping tears, welcoming new year in our abode
