2015

It is the last day of the year and I look back to see

How wonderful and memorable 2014 was to me

And as I step ahead into a whole new beginning

With a big smile and open arms I welcome 2015

The Christmas tree by my window holds a pair of white doves

And somewhere under the skies a couple is falling in love

I am sipping a hot cocoa while I admire the bright white snow

And someone is getting engaged; oh I can imagine the pair glow.

Tucked in a warm blanket I close my eyes and think

A duo is planning their wedding; soon together they will be linked

There will be many birthdays to rejoice, so many more to plan

And I will sincerely extend a helping hand and assist as much as I can

A ton of parties, celebrations and festivities will come along the way

I am excited to make someone smile and to make someone’s day

Of the many experiences of 2014, I recall all the happiness and fun

And pray that in 2015 there will be many more to come

If only I can make a bride & groom beam with joy

If only I can bring a smile to the face of a little girl or boy

If only through my profession I can spread some love to the crowd

At the end of 2015 I will feel the same as today, I will be so proud
