"January is here, with eyes that keenly glow, A frost-mailed warrior striding a shadowy steed of snow."
-   Edgar Fawcett

January's Theme

The first of the year is celebrated with mirth,

Birth of the new year perched upon its breast

Tree of destiny watched with awe

What to look for

Could it be faith and hope

Would love enter in

Could riches be attained because of it

Spirit traverse upon distant shores

How fervently we look for happiness and more

The old year is gone with a blink of an eye 

I am prodigal ... waiting to be spied.
