The End of January

 

 

The end of January

Already!

The pace is hot

And steady!

 

The end of January

2024, not 2023,

Can you imagine it would finish

So quickly?

 

What you must do,

Better do it quick!

Procrastination

Is not a good tip.

 

Just out of Christmas,

Celebrated the New year

And believe it or not,

’24 is an old year.

 

 

Some believe

The days are shortened,

Just as in the Bible it says

This would happen.

 

A day is still 24 hours

No less and no more,

The days are no shorter

Of this, I am sure.

 

It is, as you can see,

There is more to do,

So much to cram in a day

And this is my view.

 

Days being shortened

Did not apply to us

And it was not a literal day,

No need to fuss.

 

 

It was a time period

Of exceeding trouble

That was prophesied by Jesus

To fall on Israel.

 

And it came to pass

Just as Jesus said

Way back in the first century

And they are all dead.

 

Nothing about today

And the speed of time,

This is merely a perception

Playing on our mind.

 

Plan a little more

And be more organized

Is the best we can do

On this wise.

 

 

The end of January!

2024, not 2023,

Can you imagine it would finish

So quickly?
