Strings of celebration
Toasts to good times
Laughter giggles in the air
Dances floor if packed
Bottles of bear are popped
Merriment is defined
Fame and fortune plays in your garden
Home is filled with antique sparkles
Crystals are shinning
Gold and silver are showcased
Diamonds are girl’s best friend
Friends are knocking at the door
Family showers undying love
Everyone wants a piece of pie
You’ve baked with perfection
Greens in your pocket
President you give away to charities
So much you’ve given
With the gifts in return
Desire to be your friends
But now is the time when sun has settle down
Evening has brought in
A new friend named loneliness
Fortune has slipped through your fingers
Fame is diming candle light
Family once stood by has taken a flight
Friends tasting to enjoyment have dithered
Silence echoes on the dance floor
Music of the night plays
The notes of pain
Mirror reflects the shadows
Hidden behind the masks
Face painted with perfect makeup
Everyone bows down to the dawn
Presidential dollars rule the world
But my heart awaits for you here
From yesterday to now until tomorrow
For the moon I am to shine
Through your darkest nights
For I’ve been waiting for you to turn
And once look into my eyes
That tell my love story
My heart wants to read to you at bedtime
