Where Do You Go and How? ...edited re-post

Where and how do you go, old year?

Running and thrumming and flying, my dear

Leaping and sleeping and crying, it’s clear

You have one destination in mind

Dashing and dancing, a skip and a whirl

Grinning and glancing, a trip and a twirl

Crooning and moaning, a swish and a swirl

With only your song left behind

Where do you go and how, dear sir

Spring, summer, fall and back to winter

Don't close your eyes for time is a blur

And slips through our fingers with glee

Where do you go and how, old year

Fleeter your foot with age now I fear

So cherish dear loved ones and hold them near

For Time offers no guarantee

Where do you go so swiftly now

Into the sky on the winds that blow

Never a curtsy, no wave or a bow

Silently into the night

Echo of laughter, of longing’s blue tear

Hope for tomorrow gleams on the New Year

Parting is such sweet sorrow, my dear

Softly you slip out of sight
