After the party’s over,

When the balloons have sprung a leak

The cake has been eaten,

And the ice cream is gone.

How do you continue

When the fun is all spent?

Each day stretches onward

Without a pedigree or bent

The day after Christmas

The night after New Year’s Eve

When the excitement is over,

These times always leave

But every sunrise is special

Each sunset unique

No matter the occasion

Every day is a gift, ever so sweet
