THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...)

the first of december
came with a hard rain
in the shivering cold
a truth became plain
to have and to hold
would never come again
with the first of december
I remember... again

...   ...   ...

the fifth of december
came with bitter winds
and they blew me away
as depression set in
the love I dreamed of
may never begin
with the fifth of december
I remember... again

...   ...   ...


the eight of december
came with sudden shock
with the pull of a trigger
with the sound of a shot
and we never appreciate
all that we've got
with the eight of december
I remember... a lot

...   ...   ...

with december sixteen
I just look up to heaven
and try to remember
when december was seven
and the good and the bad
was I ever eleven?
and the happy and sad
am I just going mad?...

...   ...   ...


the whole of december
is dichotomy
at least that is how
it appears to me
for my personal reasons
that no one can see
and for many others
obviously

...   ...   ...


the twenty-fifth of december
came with a false smile
for all through the year
it frowned all the while
traditions are one thing
but so is pretense
for some it is Christmas
for most... just expense

...   ...   ...


the end of december
came with the first snow
in the early morning
the world seemed to glow
and I hope tomorrow
my garden will grow
with the end of december
I remember... the flow

...   ...   ...

it's a circle, a cycle
a pendulum swing
and with each new day dawns
another song to sing
so maybe tomorrow
what december will bring
is the joy and the pleasure
I'm not remembering


...   ...   ...


with the first of december
I lost my best friend
with the first of december
I remember... again
