365 days a year

a poem by Sharmila Shankar

Spring is everywhere,
Love is in the air,
Daffodils are dancing and having fun,
Is that a ripe pineapple or is that the yellow sun?

The summer sun has risen,
And everything has brightened,
Beach-umbrellas shoot up toward the sky,
Bringing with it a vacation in the Caribbean;

Falling brownish leaves in Fall,
Falling like something magical,
That is the essence of Fall,
That is what makes it beautiful;

Cool, cool winter,
Brings with it Christmas and snowfall,
The Christmas spirit prevails,
And then comes New Year;

These are the 365 days in a year,
So, go ahead and make those resolutions,
Keep them up and have lots of fun,
And have a prosperous New Year!
