What difference made by passing gong?
as midnight strikes an old year gone
a fresh one therefore now begun —
‘What will I do? What shall be done?’

Til time is ended we must tread
towards the goal that is ahead.
If those we know who now are dead
could speak, what wisdom would they shed?

Maybe, ‘Think well whom you’ll then meet
and make your peace for time is fleet,
but watch, your world breeds such deceit —
our foolish fritterings don’t repeat.’

"foolish fritterings" sums me up

Thank you, DI, and the same greetings for you in wish and prayer.

We are all given to fritterings, though some might accuse of such when it is really not so!  I was thinking of the frittering that does neglect and turn away from prayer and faith and receiving from our Maker now! Rhiannon

It's incredible how a new year makes us reflect upon our lives. It even makes me reflect upon how I reflect upon things. Your poem is one that coincides with the way I feel today.

Blwyddyn Newydd Dda/Happy New Year!

Amazing to learn a new alphabet, and new letter symbols!

We do have different letters eg 'dd' sounding as hard 'th' and 'ff' sounding as soft 'f', single 'f'' sounding as 'v' and of course 'll', 'ngh' 'ch'
