A Prosperous New Year

Another year has passed and things have gone wrong.
Life will get better as the New Year rolls along.
Prices have gotten higher and money is tighter.
As we go in to 2010 they say days will get brighter.
They've forclosed on homes and people live in the streets.
We have no jobs but the goverment still have their seats.
Our President says many things have gone wrong this year.
The war is the worst cause we've shedded so many tears. 
We pray that in 2009 there's a lesson to be learned.
Cause if not in 2010 will all get burned.
