New Year's Eve
New Year is born like the bright star
Take steps back, assess the things old
Year’s end is neither end nor beginning
It’s a process of experiences to withhold.
Bring no tears to any innocent eyes
Banish worry, doubt, fear and fright
And harm or betray not anyone’s heart
Laugh with light and weep not in night
Woo but woe not, love but lost not ever
Let be said you played, labored, lived well
Remember one has just one life to live
Life is not a dress rehearsal after all.
