New Year New Hope

N ew Year is the time for new resolutions and hope renewed
E very year our old ones we fail on, and then we do brood
W hen we make them on the first day of the first month of the year
Y early we believe we have our minds in the right gear.
E ach resolution, each wish on the first day of the New Year
A rms us with an energy to make plans without fear
R esolutions in the hope of wishes granted to come true
N ever forgetting old mistakes, but them we don’t want to renew
E ach of us trying to make sure mistakes we don’t repeat
W e promise ourselves it’s hope we want to greet
H ope is the thing that we can all have so clear
O pening our arms and hearts to those we love and keep near
P romising we will do better and raise a glass with a cheer
E very body I know I wish to you A HAPPY NEW YEAR
