You are the first month of the year
You represent hope
Is that too romantic?
Is it a trope?
Are you forgiven because you are near?
Are you hated because you are here?
January, you offer so much
In the stakes
Eleven more months
To make mistakes
We buy into the twelve month thing
We buy into time if we dare
Seasons are truthful
Can’t lie there
But
It’s all one big year really
Look at the big picture
Four seasons
That’s all we really need to know
As Johnny Logan used to say
Don’t take it too seriously
Take this year day by day.
