Times Square with all its cheer
cannot revive a year.
And no amount of pique
will slow a passing week.
No force on earth can stay
the closing of a day.
So give in…Count some sheep.
The dawn will keep.

Time...money can't buy it and nothing can stop it..and your poem points this out perfectly! Enjoy this new year!
And as I get older and my kids get older...it flies even faster.
Yes, great poem!
Happy new year, Sue. Your poem is very beautiful.

Agree with all the above comments!
Happy New Year too.
I wish you knew my dad--that picture could be him. He will sleep anywhere--always with boots and hat!
what a cute poem! I wish I would forget about the dawn at 4:00 AM when I wake up! {:-Deb
Always a good poem with truth in it. Blessings and thanks for this one~
Intriguing,,,
:) Lovely poem, as always!
Nice poem and very special picture !
A deep thought, Sue! How true that no one can stop time from passing. No one.
one of my favorite books!! hugs to you today
Oh, how I wish we could keep time from flying sometimes! My baby is turning 5 next week and my heart is breaking a little. Sigh.........
it will come surely...why is it that when i put my head down everything i need to do comes crashing in...and as to time, we gotta make the most of what we have and roll from there...cause it just keeps getting faster...
happy new year! smiles
Yes, I think it is naptime!
Very true and love the rhymes. Perfect!
So (alarmingly) true. I get nervous when I can account for every weekend until April. Trying to live in the moment.........
What wonderful way to end the year!
Just what I needed to read tonight! I've spend way too much time this past week trying to cram way too much into every day. Time to slow down and get reasonable. We will be in your neck of the woods this next Thursday the 16th until Tuesday afternoon. The only evening I have to work is Thursday for the registration reception. Other than that, evenings are free. I hope we'll be able to see you and Dave while we're there!
That guy looks like he had one heckuva Happy New Year... (((winkwink))
Thanks for linking to the letter "H".
A+
