By Simbo Rumblebelly In the deepest winter days The nights are all too long All gone the birds from once green trees And with them all their songs With little light to fill past days There may not be much to cheer Don't dwell on all the days behind For now comes a whole new year! A time to turn the pages over Or read a whole new book For there is much to celebrate You only have to look Now sighs may taint what's gone before And clouds may fill the view Just think about the year to come And saviour all things new For soon the Spring will bring to life It won't be long to wait Just think of what new paths you'll tread Beyond your garden gate And set yourself a whole new goal A task you could achieve And let the new year quell your doubts You know you must believe! But first, a party's what we need To welcome in the year With pipes to play a raucous tune We'll toast the time with beer! With friends beside, you'll have some fun They'll celebrate with you Perhaps the coming year will bring Some whole new friendships too So come as one, or come as all The year is here for you For young or old or quick or slow The year is always new It reaches out and leads you on A whole new path to tread Just greet those days with loving smiles Your new year lies ahead Some words by the author: A poem looking ahead to the New Year! As written quickly one evening in the Green Dragon at the suggestion of Miss Acorne. |
