NYE Poem 2

As the time draws near,
For the big bang of the year,
With party hats on,
With people ready to cheer;

I lay back and enjoy,
The year that it has been,
With a smile on my face,
And that everlasting grin;

I have done so much,
With much more to go,
With that timely clock,
Moving so ever slow;

So bring on the New Year,
And let the countdown begin,
With the end of the season,
And the satisfaction within;

As I countdown to midnight,
Realizing the coming of the new day,
A thought arises in my head,
It won't be different in any way;

I will wake up to the same life,
With the same chores to do,
Surrounded by the same people,
Running the day through;

But let the people hope,
Hope that the new year would bring,
With it better luck and fortune,
So let them dance and sing.
