Three-Sixty-Four


Three-sixty-four
Has knocked this time
With Three-sixty-five
Still close behind.

The day begins
Like days before,
Ending just to start
The next days morn'.

It's been a year
Nothing has changed
I am still the same
I've only aged.

I've made new friends
I've learned new things
Dealt with everything
My life could bring.

Three-sixty-five

Days in the past

Feels seconds ago

It's gone by fast.

 

I felt the same
As I do now,
That I'm missing out
On life somehow.

But even still
I laugh and cheer
For another year
Will soon be here

As I look back
To days before
People left behind
Every closed door

I'm glad that I
Am here today
To laugh and to dance
And celebrate

And as this day
Becomes that past
I know this feeling
Will never last.

Tomorrow brings
New exciting things
Great things that will get
My heart to sing.

I hear the knocking of day one
The new year has just begun.
