December Yadda-Yadda
The old year is ending
And the new one is on its way.
So much left unfinished
But I just had to say:
So what if you’re a little fatter?
To me, it really doesn’t matter.
(Honestly.)
So what if you didn’t get very rich.
Fortune can sometimes be a bitch.
(So they say.)
So what if your children are unruly?
I still love those rascals, truly.
(Well…)
So what if your hair’s turnin’ gray?
There’s color in a bottle, they say,
(My, how natural!)
So much seems beyond our control
But life’s richness really depends
Not on distinctions superficial,
But on the quality of our friends.
So, go ahead, be merry.
Party on and have a happy.
Do something a little silly…
Maybe write a note that’s sappy…
And please remember that
In the darkness of the night,
When all else seems dim,
Our friendship will burn bright………ly.
End
