New year new you

As we sit in anticipation watching the clock countdown
Our minds racing filled with thoughts of renaissance
The talk turns slowly to the making of vows 
And we think about sleep and the years reset 
After everything that edified us as we celebrate 
What will this year bring as we welcome the outset 

Filled with optimism at the new years outset 
The clocks count our blessings in their continued countdown
As we strive forward small victories we celebrate  
As we enter the dawn of our renaissance
As all the negatives we purge and reset 
And positivity our mantra that was the vow 

In our minds eye we remember that vow 
Staying strong and positive like at the outset 
Remembering each day to pause and reset 
As we tick off goals like the tick tock of a clocks countdown
Positive thoughts kickstart our personal renaissance 
As we grow and allow others to grow we continue to celebrate 

As we recognise our growth it gives cause to celebrate
Soon we tick off that almost insurmountable final vow 
We allow no negativity to hinder our renaissance 
As not only we survive but thrive from the outset 
No longer do we hear the clocks ominous countdown
As we grow we need less that thought of reset 

As we win we watch others still in need of a reset 
But with each milestone etched is cause to celebrate 
And now we are the ones in control of the countdown
As others see us and admire our vow
And we share its about being consistent, being steady from the outset 
As we by our renewal are able to contribute to others renaissance 

Be alert in guarding against relapse following renaissance
As the world will try to inevitable push you to reset 
But they have not witnessed your strength since the outset 
The world fails to grasp its each day you celebrate
And now you have no need of the vow 
As you usher in the final countdown 

I vow to live my life with every reason to celebrate 
And I realise from the outset it was life that I reset 
I feel revived and restored in my renaissance as I end the countdown
