Ring In The New Year

Ring In The New Year

by Bud Lemire on Dec 24, 2004

As we all get ready to ring in the New Year

I'm lost in the thoughts of all that happens here

Each year is filled with constant change

At the time they occur, they seem so strange

Someone you loved, turns away

Nothing could change it, nothing to say

You're brought back to a familiar place

With many new challenges that you must face

Got to be with friends I hadn't seen in awhile

Replaced my sadness with a wide open smile

My heart started beating strongly again

Surrounded myself with some new friends

I can hear the new year ringing

And it sounds good to my ears

I can carry on with what life's bringing

And let go of all my fears

As we get ready, to ring in the year 2005

I thank God for my journey, that kept me alive

As the year 2004, is left behind

Only the memories, remain in my mind

Happy New Year everyone.

May your new year hold many pleasant surprises

for each and every one of you. ~Bud~
