No. 5 of 12 in the Jemverse ’12 Months II’ series
Galanthus greets this New Year’s day
Snowdrop heads due reverence show
and as a new sun rises
sleep heads all come to know
That here is opportunity
A promise waiting in the wings
heralding the new, a first
Tugging at those old heartstrings

Galanthus (aka ‘Snowdrop’) synonymous with ‘hope’, is the January birth flower.

The last days arrives
And as now the last year fades
we welcome the new

Second to the last
We say farewell to the year
and prepare for next

I have confidence that
now the year end is here
That twenty eighteen
will end with good cheer
For it’s swiftly flown past
and been full to the brim
with all of the memories
contained here within
And now looms the next
with much promise in store
Our sixtieth year
for two birthdays and more
And whilst I would not
wish time to fly past
I feel certain the next
will for us be a blast
