Ode To New Years Eve (villanelle)
Regretfully we watch the year decline
Uncertain of a future yet untold
While greeting New Year singing Auld Lang Syne
Admittedly we can’t fool Father Time
Those mocking mirror images grow old
As regretfully we watch the year decline
Of yesterdays demise we stand resigned
Assuredly tomorrow shall unfold
While greeting New Year singing Auld Lang Syne
Delightful memories etched within our mind
In time-worn stories frequently retold
As regretfully we watch the year decline
A toast to you my friends, with sparkling wine
We’ll celebrate at midnight uncontrolled
While greeting New Year singing Auld Lang Syne
Undoubtedly we’ll stand with arms entwined
The merriment a party to behold
As regretfully we watch the year decline
While greeting New Year singing Auld Lang Syne
