new year

As the old year fades into the past,
A new horizon dawns at last,
With the chime of bells and cheerful cheer,
We welcome in the brand new year.
 
A clean slate spread before our eyes,
Filled with hopes that start to rise,
Like fireworks bursting in the sky,
A celebration as time floats by.
 
Reflections on the days gone by,
Lessons learned and tears we've dried,
But now we turn to face the light,
Of a year that's filled with promise bright.
 
New dreams take flight on wings of hope,
As we navigate life's winding slope,
With resolutions strong and clear,
To chase our goals without fear.
 
The clock strikes twelve, a joyful sound,
A toast to new beginnings found,
In the company of friends so dear,
Embracing the dawn of the new year.
 
So raise your glasses, sing and cheer,
For the journey ahead is drawing near,
With hearts aglow and spirits high,
Here's to a year that's bound to fly.
