Putting my best foot forward as an optimist Looking ahead and up instead in 2026 Making new dreams come true if I can Being open to help just as I help fellow man One year older and feeling very grateful I’ll not be sour and I’ll not be wasteful Onyx sky of potential awaiting us all We will laugh and cry 2026 will be a ball
