Happy New Year

Hear a promise that comes so softly with new snow At the touch of the hour, on a New Year's eve Pristine, untouched in the moonlit glow Pause for a moment, as the old year takes leave Years slip away, and with new footsteps we go… New paths of adventure lie waiting ahead Each step we will tread, so velvety slow We’ll walk on ahead, leaving yesterday’s bed Yesterday’s sorrow, lies beneath downy lace Each step is brand new...like an unwritten slate As we walk on in silence, and a new hope begins Rejoice, in this gift of a new shining face For Francine's Contest
