The Ending of the Year





















The Ending of the Year

Christmas is over, dark days head
The cold world, the world of night
Decorations away, a time I dread
And everything a little less bright

Gravestones damp from all the rain
A ten year old, taken by illness, lost
Parents wept, they knew much pain
As they stood mourning in the frost

Ending of the old year drawing near
Janus beckons, turning from time past
To face the future, a time of fear
When rides the storm a shrieking ghast

Shadows of the past, and that still to be
Pray for kindness, that’s the key
