Just like that

It’s faded away

What once was new

Is now a soggy holiday

~

The rain falls heavy

On festive cheer

Marking the end

Of the best time of year

~

Yet still, there’s hope

For what’s to come

Welcoming the new year

Saying goodbye to feeling glum

~

In the days ahead

May we always remember

Where we hope to be going

And what it’s taken to get there
