January

January, January  
Oh, how I look to you January 
First days to set forth a year 
Out with the old mindset 
Excitement, how it brewed 
Of all the things to make anew 
As the days mounted 
So did the weather
Out in the cold, air chills
Inward I look, cozy and warm
Tis the end of January  
Farewell, farewell January.
