the child

hair going grey falling fast
old so very old
many a time to remember
in this my last
mostly good
some not so
some really bad
yet my time is up
now tis so close
to time for retire
for off in the distance i can hear
the new one being born
in a short while will peal
the sound of a tearing cry
followed soon by a crystal laugh
my memories i keep
new ones soon to be forged
may the new child have the best
of its coming year
