Disappearing New Year
Tickling their tummy's with tinkling bells that twinkle
sounds rumbling upon the roof of eight tiny reindeer
tangled lights and snow transforming a sparkling night
a flickering fire with sparks floating with loves desires
Casting a spell with dreams of toy’s and new games
small voices whispering in bed with exciting emotions
crackling sounds of Christmas wrapping while giggling
New bikes and sleighs awaiting smiles on Christmas Day
a hog under ground predicting our spring weather
With heart shaped boxes and diamond rings awaiting
Kisses and romantic dinners with nights of desire
Ash on Wednesday with Lint next then Purim
Time springs forward with colorful flowers blooming
Little green men pots of gold and four leaf clovers
Passing over Palm Sunday then Muslim and Hindu
With all becoming fools on this first day of April
Good Friday coming after Thursday then eggs are hidden
Then evil appears taking our money away on Tax Day
My day now called May Day then Cinco de Mayo
All Mothers honored then Memorial Day on the way
Of course Fathers Day is next with fireworks on the 4th
Then all go into labor this one day a year on Labor Day
Spooks, goblins and candy treats with witch's on a broom
Veterans honored and flowers placed upon their tombs
The turkey arrives all golden brown as we get stuffed
Black Friday’s appear with shopping pushing and shoving
Getting ready for the first stanza up above
This circle of life happens each year some may see,
Others will be missed a loss to all of our hearts,
As they disappear from our lives never to see another,
Happy New Year.
