New Years Eve

It's time we say goodbye to this past year
As we look forward to tomorrow one thing is clear

We can write our own story of what lies ahead
Or we can sleep it away lying in bed

When we decide on some self correction
Let's make sure it's in the right direction

Decisions decisions oh what to do
Many with a resolution to lose a pound or two

So get up and go for that run or walk
Or will you be the one who is just all talk

A new year always brings a nice clean slate
Just be careful of what you put on your proverbial plate

Always make time for family and friends
Cause only God knows when our time here ends

Tonight is the night for this year to depart
Tomorrow is the day for a new year to start
