New Year

New Year

© 2001 by Bud Lemire

A New Year begins, while another year ends

Seems like each year, I make many new friends

I'm always discovering, so many new things

And taking on, whatever the future brings

From the start of January, to the end of Decernber

These are some special times, I'll always remember

When another year starts, and one year is all done

I wonder what the year will bring now that it has begun

Will it be a year, that is better than before

Could it be a year, to wish for something more

Will it bring more sadness, that I could do without

Or bring me so much happiness, to make me scream and shout

Could it be the year, that I've been waiting for

Still I have to wonder, as I open every door

Will I treasure everything I find, as each door is opened wide

The love of the human spirit, the jewels from deep inside

Could this year bring me, something good each and every week

Sometimes the best things that happen, are things that we don't seek

I will turn the pages of the calendar, and see what each month will bring

I will share with everyone, each new song that I will sing

As we come to every number, upon the calendar on the wall

Through the days of every month, while my spirit is standing tall

As we leave one year behind us, I will not shed a tear

For there are many happy days, found in each and every New Year

Every year has it wonderful moments that we can cherish, as well

as some we wish never to experience again. Each new year is like

opening a present just to find out what is inside it.
