ADIEU TO DECEMBER 2019

Starry Night, Vincent van Gogh



















December swept in to close the parting year
With a frigid Arctic blast, snow was in the rear

Powder puff flurries temporarily dusted the scene
Then spring-like weather made us giddy and beam

Yet brilliant stars illuminated the holiday streets

The Christmas tree at Rock made it all complete

And the Winter Solstice chimed in to celebrate

With joyful hymns and candles for nature's sake

Do not forget it is the end of remarkable decade

Recall sweet memories, dear ones, before they fade

Christmas concerts set the joyous holiday mood

O Holy Night, Silent Night so familiar did soothe

Folks wondered how the year had gone by in a silent poof
Left us dazed and betrayed by precious time is the proof

Starry night, night of wonder we sent songs of love away

To tame a hardened heart far and wide on Christmas Day

Oh why must you depart and close out this end of year

We had so much more to do, to savor you my dearest dear

There was no holding back the time and the clock was ticking

Away the final hours came, and Auld Lang Syne was tweeting

December bowed out with amazing grace and let in a New Year!

Where "Dreams Do Come True," for a grateful heart sincere..
