Out With the Old Year

Out with the old year,
In with the new.
Will this be a good one?
Haven’t a clue.

All we can do is
Wake up every day
And see just what stuff
Will be heading our way.

Make no predictions;
Time has to tell
If life treats us badly
Or if we do well.

Wishing is useless,
More likely than not,
But have a good new year.
(I’ll give it a shot.)
