I'm sitting here and wondering,
what the new year will bring.
Should I get UP and dance?
Or maybe I will sing!!!

For it's a new year of hope,
and change will do us all good.
The past mistakes are now behind us;
learning from them as we should.

Out with old, and in with the new,
and put all your troubles to rest.
For God has given you this glorious life,
and we can all pass the test.

Of what is right and wrong,
and be kind to those we meet.
Becoming a Victor; NOT a victim,
and to get up on your feet.

Rejoice, be happy,
for it could always be worse.
To have never had this moment,
and to be riding in a hearse.

Making the most of each day,
be it sunny or raining outside.
For they both make things grow;
like the heart you have inside.
