Happy New Year 2014

Years seem to fly by, And it’s not all that bad; Time is never really moving, Life’s the dream we never had. We stand to face tomorrow, Not knowing what’s to come; Yet we’ve made it to the present, Regardless of where we’re from. What is a year exactly? A three-digit number of days? Is it not simply the circle, within which Mother Earth plays? It’s merely a unit of measurement, Like a meter or a pound; It measures how long it takes the Milky Way, to move the Earth around. So what’s the cause for celebration? A circle that’s complete? It’s like dancing to a song, -that’s always on repeat! Yet to us it means much more, A beginning, fresh and new; Another chance to change our fate, And do what we’d never do. Let your year have no regrets, Say “I love you” everyday; Stand beside the Truth, And make the time to pray. Acknowledge times of sadness, And acknowledge your laughter and smiles; Acknowledge life’s currents and changes, And let your memories run on for miles. A year is so much more than time, And even more than another chance; It’s a moment to regain your balance, And re-affirm, your stance.
