Listen to poem:

Another New Year

Intro

This year has ended
And found me deeper in debt
A couple more gray hairs
And a handful of regrets

It ended and it seemed 
Just a little colder
And looking in the mirror
I look a tad bit older

That little ache I had
Has now become a pain
And resolutions made last year
I'll visit once again


Chorus
But I'm not worried
Because I'll start something new
Not living in the passed
And do what I must do
Looking only forward
Though coming from behind
Not thinking getting older
Just ageing like fine wine

instrumental 

It ended and it seemed 
Just a little colder
And looking in the mirror
I look a tad bit older

That little ach I had
Has now become a pain
And resolutions made last year
I'll visit once again


Chorus
But I'm not worried
Because I'll start something new
Not living in the passed
And do what I must do
Looking only forward
Though coming from behind
Not thinking getting older
Just ageing like fine wine
