Fresh New Year
Fresh new time.
Make it dear
And a happy time
To last throughout the year
Sweet memories
For a later time.
Remember this
This pleasant time
Start a New Year
Make it fresh
A fresh new time.

Time passes, lights grow dim
Year ends another begins.
No sadness felt only anticipation
Of newness to begin.
See Down the road, see what lies ahead
Trust your soul, trust your head
To lead you where you haven’t tread
There to be a free and happy being.
Time passes, lights grow dim
Year ends, another begins.

Clear your desk
Start again
Fresh and new
No baggage to drag in.
Take what you need
That’s proven time
And time again.
No crushing doubts
No what ifs’ to cast about
Just joyous notes
Happy times to think about.
This is now
This is your chance
Start anew
Begin the dance

Here we are in the depths of self discovery pondering the safest route to the Promise Land. Not that we are in a hurry to get there, just that we know the way.

Christmas comes but once a year
As does Easter and New Years
Celebrate, have some cake
Eat the treat Christmas makes.
Travel round
See the smile on the child
That believes in Santa Claus.
Feel the joy
Feel the cheer
Wrap a present for someone dear.
Christmas comes but once a year
So we should raise a glass
Of hearty cheer
And bless this day throughout the year!
