Harken As the Snowflakes Fall

Harken as the snowflakes fall
Attend the trumpeting winds that call
Praise the new year, one and all

Prior months were sad and grim
You were sure they’d do you in
Now's the time - let joy begin

Erase the memories that drain 
Wear you down and cause you pain
Yes! Now let abundance reign 

Embrace the days ahead of you
Awaken to what’s brave and true
Ring out the old, proclaim the new
