New Years Eve

A new year is here in all its glory Time square is swarming with people awaiting the official word that the old year has passed Hoping that the new will be better At the strike of the clock marking the hour There are screams of happy expectations Those wishing for wealth and prosperity Others want good health above all else There are fireworks and balls of flickering light The look of awe in the childrens’ eyes For them this is just a giant show in the cold For us it means possible dreams coming true We all look to the new year for something good or new There is hope for a better future and a reason to go on There is always a chance no matter how small Of a blessing or miracle for our new year
