MY New Years Poem
As I sat listening to the children play
I was remembering back in my day.
When I was a child run amuck
and trouble came and I would duck.
Now as I look onto today
I see the things I did come back my way.
The new year brings the past alive
for I was remeniscing 1975.
Thinking about all that I used to do,
and all that has been done since 1992.
My history teacher said history repeats itslelf,
He was so right for I see bits of my past life on the store shelf.
They sell the same bell bottoms and faded jeans,
With all sorts of wild colors such as phosphorescent blues and greens.
Listning to kids in the other room
Oh MY, such impending doom.
It seems we become our parents as we become a mom or dad,
And we find ourselves saying QUIET IN THERE and saying EGAD.
It seems we learn more than we think as years go by,
And we find ourselves asking for reasons why.
The reason for this letter is to remind that your kids are watching you,
So do the very best that you can possibly do.
For the year 1999 is a new decade for another realm of life,
Teach your children to be a good husband or wife.
I messed up myself and am trying to fix what I can,
But God is the one to ask for help, for He can show me how to be a man.
He has changed my life and He can change yours too,
Just start this new year saying Oh God I give it all to You.
Have faith as we go into the year 1999,
because He can help you with yours, He helped me with mine.
