A Year
Just in time, with old year past.
A fresh new start, build habits fast.
New Years Resolutions, how long will they last?
Filled with memories of playing in snow
Each couple awaits a day for their love to show,
Bundled with blankets as the cold wind doth blow
Music swells and fills the air
As flowers bloom, their colors share
Reminded of life, and why we care
Away with the cold, bring in the light
Proper weather brings many a delight
Remember to keep your veggies in sight
Momentous occasions for kids suddenly free!
A party for those who earned a degree
Youthful celebrations quite the sight to see
Journeys and trips, gone on vacay
Unforgettable times to freely go play
Nuptial vows made, love here to stay
Juicy burgers, barbecued meat
Under the shade to hide from the heat
Loudly running with flip-flop clad feet
Almost done suffering through all the sweat
Under the surface, water cool and wet
Gliding along until the sun eventually set
Schools start again to children’s frustration
Each day’s ending bell a welcome salvation
Playing hookey is always a pleasing temptation
Orange-red leaves this season doth host
Cooling off weather, no longer to roast
Timidly asking “did I see a ghost?”
Nutmeg flavors a delicious drink
Orange desserts, and a turkey I think
Voracious appetites fills us to the brink
Decorations galore, what colors there are!
Each person goes home, no matter how far
Completion of a journey ‘round our central star
