Out With the Old, Ring In the New

A New Year Poem for all of you

Farewell to the dying year.

Ring in the new, what will it bring?

Will the road ahead be sunny,

laughter filled, all milk and honey

or will sorrow from the past months

follow on and linger still?

Let the pipers pipe their tidings.

Let the revellers sing in gladness.

Let the fireworks splash their sparkle,

'neath the brilliance of the moon.

Cast aside all thoughts of darkness,

sweep those shadows ever waiting,

waiting for a Diva's entrance,

lurking, silent, wrapped in gloom.

Let the moments of the New Year

raise all hope and expectation.

Peace and love for every nation.

Sing it loud and sing it clear.

In the great tradition of new year, when the calender clicks over into another year, it feels to us like the end of a book in a series or saga, and we ponder whether we enjoyed the last one enough to start another....Then realise we may as well, as the alternative sucks. Its lucky I am such a cheery, optimistic person, eh? :)
It is indeed time for reflection, and hope. For all the things put off, to be achieved, and life to be a little easier on this years turn of the dial.
Sad to say I have broken all my resolutions, but there's always next year. :)

Lorry, I don't know why we bother with resolutions. Most people don't stick to them. My glass (or two) of red wine is hardly an indulgence and it keeps me happy :) I always start the New Year full of optimism thinking there's no way it can be as bad as last year and then guess what happens? I do try and remain hopeful though. Your comments always enjoyed. You make me laugh :)
