THE NEW YEAR



A day that begins in dribble and rain
Yet it is 2009 let no signs of 2008 remain
As I look back upon the past years
Those of happiness, lost loves, past fears
I remember the fifties when life was fun
The sixties, changes, games lost games one
My life was sports every day filled with Sun
Life was easy, no challenges did I run
In the early sixties, my country, knowledge
Was it sports, or girls, I went off to college?
The seventies not a time of drugs--not for me
I was learning to become and adult raise a family
What happened in the eighties just passed me by
Days came and went I don't remember don't ask me why?
The days of the late nineties fun years for me
For my love of children Grandpa became a nanny you see
The 2000's have come and gone really fast
Any year I regret---I was glad to see 2008 go past
I wish everyone Happy New Year much better year than last
