Sky I scan for signs of light
Balls of fire taking flight
'xcitement rising unaware
Even when I hadn't cared

Our New Year Eve is spent
contemplating to repent
One month and ten days of Lent
Crying, fasting, bodies bent
​
Won't deny the vivid glare
Celebrating the New Year
Shiny sparks and drinks are nice
Changing lives I value thrice.
