New Year’s Day

By Ilse Kramer

New dress
Size Small
That would be nice
Indeed

I welcome my new friends
And tell them call me Poet
That is my name
And always will be

New poems and new songs
What stays the same
Is my old place of worship
On Angel Street

I find
The winter of my life
Holds the most promises
Of all

But dare I hope
For that new dress
I once was small
Why can’t I be again
