As a new year starts and an old one ends,
We contemplate what brought us joy,
And we think of our loved ones and our friends.
Remembering how they enriched our lives
We reflect upon who really counts,
As the fresh and bright new year arrives.
I/we immediately think of you.
To start our lives anew;
This time we'll leap old barriers
To have a real breakthrough.
And then we'll take one more,
Our unlimited potential
We'll totally explore.
Everyone will be inspired;
(Hmm…while I'm writing this,
I'm getting very tired.)
We'll read and learn a lot,
All our goals will be accomplished,
Sigh...or maybe not.
