What can I say but
New Year’s came and went,
asleep on the couch
is how mine was spent.
New Year’s Eve is big
but not why you think.
You see, on this day
was my mom’s first blink.
On this day, back in
1952,
while people partied,
my mom was born too.
While the world welcomes
a brand New Year,
remember to send,
my mom’s way, some cheer.
