Every Day Is A New Date, Dear

I am not worrying about a new year. Every single day is a brand new date, For us to gleefully enjoy and celebrate, From dawn to noon, until the night, dear. A number is being added to a new year, Everybody is excited, elated beyond belief. This is too much for me to peacefully bear. Let's awaken all octopuses under the large reef. Before we know it, we will get used to this number. Three hundred sixty five days will melt away, Like butter on a hot surface. That will be a new day. That will be another year to hope like a toddler, Who's dreaming of a new toy, a new adventure. Today is a new date to pray for a better future.
