HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR

Have a Happy New Year! May the skies be now clear,
With friends of good cheer, fine wine and cold beer.

Have a Happy New Year! Great music to hear,
A love true and dear, with nothing to fear.

Have a Happy New Year! Smooth course now to steer,
Where wonders appear. Best times always near.

Nostalgia we feel, for the old year's end,
Who we once were and where we once went.

That time now spent; things said and meant.
When we stood tall. When we bent,

All that went right. Some that went wrong.
When we were weak and when we were strong.
Days flow so fast. Our lives barely cast.
For those who have passed, just memories now last.

So let's look ahead, to new times instead.
A new year to form, now waits to be born
Spring, summer, fall. Winter now calls.
Our newborn needs love, to strive; come alive.

So have a Happy New Year! May the skies be now clear,
With friends of good cheer, fine wine and cold beer.

Have a Happy New Year! Great music to hear,
A love true and dear, with nothing to fear.

Have a Happy New Year! Smooth course now to steer,
Where wonders appear. Best of times always near.

Have a Happy,
New Year!
