Happy New Year! Poem by Clarence Prince

Happy New Year!

Rating: 5.0


Seeing as this present year, serves its term,
The season's showing that it's leaving town
Nothing left for it to mow down or to crown
It's saying goodbye, its going back home
On its own, the same way, it came alone
Whatever the weather, it's homeward bound
Silently it shall fly; no one shall hear a sound
Wisely, it knows how long it has to stay
Making space, it's getting out of the way
Knowing that the New Year is coming soon
For many, it's leaving much gloom and doom
And plenty of work for the New Year to do
Makes the cooing bird finds a reason to coo
Much work it has left the coming year to do
Everywhere upon the land and out in the blue
How much strain no one is yet with a clue
Even so, good for those who know the truth
Look not, for Him, in the west, east, nor south
Just prepare to welcome the coming year
In closing, say with me, happy New Year!

For many, it's leaving much gloom and doom And plenty of works for the New Year to do. It's the truth.
