What is it about some days <br />Birthday, festivals and anniversary <br />New Year and first of January <br />We wake up expectant and gay… <br /> <br />I ponder this foggy December <br />Why can’t we feel joyous and alive? <br />Ready to dance, sing and jive <br />Why it takes some dates on the calendar, <br /> <br />To realise we have only one life to live… <br />Is it because it breaks the monotony <br />Or for a while we feel in harmony <br />Is it a reminder to share and give…? <br /> <br />Times are rough, we try to survive, <br />Mind so cluttered with angst and worry <br />Always on the run and in a hurry, <br />Holidays help to release, laugh and revive… <br /> <br /> <br />So go ahead and ring in the New Year, <br />Give a thought to those who live in fear. <br />Hug someone who has run out of tears, <br />And express gratitude to all you hold dear. <br /> <br /> <br />Mamta <br />30.12.2008 <br /> <br />Happy New Year to all my friends on Poem Hunter<br /><br />Mamta Agarwal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/as-the-year-draws-to-an-end/
