The Clock Poem by Carolyn Sears

The Clock



The clock is ticking on down

Tick tock tick tock tick tock

The second’s is turning into

Minutes “tis coming forth to

That magical hour”

“Bout time to break out the

Champagne”

The fire works or ready to fire

Away,

Welcoming the

Beginning of this New Year

Is fast approaching..

My resolution of 2008

Will not be written in ink

Nor will there be any mind

Proclamations,

For I do declare my life holds

Enough of life issues

I''d

Rather not start anew..

So, I’ll just remain laid

Back..

With a thank you prayer

And see where it all goes

Thank you Lord for this New

Year beginning,

“Hooray, Hooray & All That Jive”

Happy New Year 2008

Clock is only at Noon out here on the West Coast. I like your way of getting ready to enter the New Year. Good, bad or indiffernt, I would not want to have to start anew. Hopfully one can build and learn from each year. Some times it seems like we can't. 'You got A Tiger By The Tail' used to be just a song until three young men got tangled up with one out here at the Zoo. Beautiful animal and one young man dead: his two wounded buddies aren't talkin.' straight. Neither are the Zoo officials. Add that to OJ's and Barry Bonds's trial and a couple of buckets of popcorn, and we've got enough to distract us from real problems for 2008. Hope not! ... Best to you and yours...Tom. Tom
