An Old Year Is Gone, So Is Santa

An old year is slowly winding down Where every minute and second count Don't hold our breath, just count down Gently and slowly. A new year, a new bount Is coming down the aisle, while an old year Is disappearing or evaporating in the air An old year is gone, an old year is out A brand new day is in, please let's not shout Be happy, be jolly, and be ecstatic for now Please let's not be as loud as a hungry cow We must move on, we must go forward Let's not look back and let's not step backward A new year is present in the atmosphere Life is not fair, life is sometimes unfair Let's be positive and let's hope for the best Let's be fair and let's start caring for the rest Life is not easy. Life is not static. Life can be wonderful and dynamic An old year is being chased, that's natural And a new year is approaching like a jackal That's a phenomenon. A new decade is here too This is the beginning of something special and anew An old year is gone. It's now history. It's now the past Time is never slow. Time always runs fast, very fast Like the last poem of the old decade And the new poem which will enjoy the new shade.
