It's a New Day AND a New Year!

I can't explain why but I woke up this morning with this lovely poem running through my mind ... it started off with me remembering the last 3 lines but the rest of this poem is lovely and, of course, is brilliantly written as with everything else, by Robert Frost!



Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
