For Auld Lang syne, My Dear

by cj-sutherland

New Year s Eve parties We “dressed to the nines “ Fancy frilly Dresses Hair updos, nails, lashes Dress to impress. but it’s all for fun. Ready to ring in the new year with those we hold Dear. Remembering those who are no longer here. As we count down the seconds until midnight A sparkler for delight Holding our loved one tight Fireworks,Noice makers popping streamers Watch them fly high into the sky.strategically position In the middle of the dance floor, Five, four, three, two, one… “Happy NewYear” The crowd cheers The bells begins to ring, Well wishes, Cheek Kisses Collectively, We all begin to Sing.   Should old acquaintances be forgot And never brought to mind Should old acquaintance be forgot, and Auld Lang Syne For Auld Lang Syne ,my dear For Auld Lang Syne We’ll take a cup of kindness yet For Auld Lang Syne… There’s actually more lyrics to this, but nobody ever sings them? Have you ever wondered What this song means? After a few drinks, it doesn’t really matter A hill of beans! Auld Lang Syne means, Old or long since, Old Times It invokes feelings of nostalgia, especially to memories of good times spent. Should old acquaintances, be forgot, and never brought to mind Serves as a reminder to cherish those fond memories that We’ve already had, Which makes the song A perfect New Years Eve song. This song was written centuries ago. A Scottish poem, updated by Robert Burns, in 1788, Who gave a new modern version from the original poem. by author Alan Ramsey. Please share with me How do you Ring   in the new year.

Notes

How do you spend New Year’s Eve now in my 60s, we seldom stay up double digits(after9:00pm) usually, I’ll wake up when I hear people yelling and screaming outside and the fireworks going off. I’ll go to the door and check it out. And come and whisper happy new year to my husband and kissing on the cheek and he mutters it back to me and I sleep. but it’s all good, because I would rather be in bed next to him, then anywhere else in the world
