New Years Day

[Neville Briggs]

New Years Day

Last year, a lot of things I hoped to do
but can't go back and make correction to
the gains and faults that fall behind so fast;
that year is just the mind that thinks the past.

The most enduring moments pass away;
so soon to-day becomes but yesterday.
What's now is briefly seen, then turns to flee.
When do the days become a memory ?

Ahead; the path unseen, another year
on trust. A world existing as idea.
Not yet to leave behind the nevermore,
nor yet to see what lasts for evermore.

[Heather]

Time waits for no man, Neville.

Or woman It's an old one recycled, not too clever but the only one I had on hand for the new year.
