Out With The Old

In With The New

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished 2 years ago • Updated 2 years ago • 1 min read

Gently tucked nativities

Wrapping paper tossed and torn

Ornaments cling to the tree

As needles cascade to the floor

Lights flicker and flash

As the old season is ending

Stowaway and packed

Along with all our memories

Bellies full from the feast

Napping, sprawled on the couch

Surrendering to the beast

Another year, heading out

A new year edging in

Pushing the old one along

Another count down begins

Singing an auld lang syne song

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

And never brought to mind

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

And days of old lang syne

Happy New Year!!
