New Year Inflection
The year is dead, long live new year
Don’t dwell too long, don’t shed a tear
For what is gone, is done, goodbye
There is no how, no who, no why
Instead go forward, see far, head up
Drink joyous gulps from the loving cup
Tomorrow’s a glow, this moment burns bright
So embrace yourself, your star, your light
Tonight is magic, an inflection in time
It’s not about rhythm, but more about rhyme
So be safe, be happy, and healthy always
And let love be with you all of your days
