Another Trip Around the Sun

Another trip around the sun: another turn of winter's night. Another chance to see undone these honest vows in conscience made. Intentions pure, resolve forthright but then in time, they all shall fade. For some a boon, for some a bane for others yet, a mere caprice: another chance to drink champagne. The young shall laugh, the old shall cry, we all shall share a kiss of peace: and hail another year gone by. Another trip around the sun: for some a boon, for some a bane.
