Farewell old year,
We may not see
Your like again,
Though some remain
In memory
Of cheer or tear
Of achievements
Made or unmade,
Friends gained or lost,
Now like misers
We count the cost
And close the year,
Calendars tossed,
Diaries shut.
Welcome New Year,
You come to us
Like virgin bride,
Fresh and untouched,
Full of promise,
Introductions
At first uncertain,
But far off sights
Will bring delights
And better days,
And far less tears
Or heart break hours
We hope and pray.
Farewell old year;
Farewell today.
