Begin Anew
The year is coming
Gracefully
To a quiet end
In the snowy arms
Of winter
We bid adieu
To the events of last
We begin anew
With an almost clean slate
We get another chance
Another day
Another month
Another year
However long
We are given time
Take it not for granted
Let it not fly by
Unseized
Take this year
Embrace it
With open arms
Make friends
Meet new people
Spend time with
Your family
Mend broken fences
Love
Love in your own
Way
Just love
Don't fret so much
About the things
That never get done
Like that pile of dishs
In the sink
Don't fret about the things
That you didn't have the chance
To do
The regret isn't really worth it
Take this year
And be what you will
Be all that you want to be
Let go of that pain
That you hold deep inside
Let it burn no longer
Acknowledge it
Bless it
And then release it
When the ball drops
We all have the power
To begin fresh
To go forward
Take the first step
See where that leads you
And remember that if you
Rush into things
Always dress for the occasion
