January First

January first,

way back then.

Now it's gonna happen,

it's gonna start over again.

The first of the year

and Winter is cold.

Let me enjoy it,

all feisty and bold.

Then when Spring

brings the thaw,

let me hear robins sing

while making nests of straw.

When the sun beats down

and Summer begins,

let me fly through the sky

as my glory I will then be in.

When all the Fall colors

fall into heaps,

the memories in my mind

will be visions to reap.

Again into Winters crunch,

let me love life still.

The most important of all love,

and all of its thrills.

Send out the old year,

bring in the new.

I'm ready, I'm ready!

How about you?
