Minutes Till New Year

When it turns dark, gleaming stars reveal
We observe the radiant moon and stars everywhere.
Fireworks waiting to burst, times running faster
Kids awakening up in middle of the night
Food sweltering in the oven to rejoice
I feel the cold breeze shiver,
Taste the hot chocolate
I smell the campfire smoke filling the air
Lying down on the grassy hill, feel glad inside
Everyone can’t wait till New Year
I see fireworks thriving in the sky
Finally, New Year's has arrived
Everyone cheers with indulgence
