BIRTH OF A NEW YEAR
The rooster crowed this morning
well before the crack of dawn
I wonder if he was bragging
or celebrating what's going on
The hen that's just below him
clucks every now and then
If you listen very closely
there's peeps now chiming in
Little balls of black fuzz
with down still wet from birth
are a precious gift from nature
to welcome in another year
Happy New Year everyone!!!
