These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

New Day, New Year, New Decade

Each New Year's Eve will bring a page,
so pristine and quite new.
The number's true and so's the stage
for acts by me and you.

The sunset closes every day.
The sunrise comes to light.
December 31's display
fades to the first by night.

As nineteen leaves and twenty comes,
we see a change quite big.
The year is new by single sums,
but tens dance quite a jig.

This 2020 helps us see,
and ever new the ways.
Let's pray, that greater sights we'll see
when living these wondrous days.

New day, new year, new decade's bliss
on living hope we'll build.
The Son, Who made us, Him we'll kiss,
our spirits ever filled.
