New Calendar

Another three hundred and sixty-five days,
I give thanks to God when I pray
New chances to take; new memories to make
Let’s start new with a clean slate
Time for love not hate
Family and friends have come; and gone
I’ve learned to leave the past and move on
This year feels reminiscent of the last 
I’ve noticed how time moves so fast
Every day I pray for a better tomorrow
Hoping not to face grief or sorrow
Yes, I cried a few tears
Faced a lot of fears
Thank God a new year is here
Life’s too short to dwell in the misery 
Let’s write a new chapter to our story
The lessons learned and memories gained 
Another year, but it’s never the same
Here’s a quick reminder
Very soon we’ll be changing our calendar
