It is over
The year closes gray
Celebrations reign
Not for the feign of heart
But for those who welcome
A fresh start
Drink the champaign
Cheer your fellow man
Make exciting wishes
For success and all it encumbers
Some won’t be around
To watch us as we grow
Will remain a memory
Some have forgotten
How they got this far
It wasn’t alone and
Not without fear.
The carpet is swept
Purple, gold, and magenta
Waiting for fresh steps
And purpose. Elements of
Emotion will shake us
Yet we will take the steps
Our hand will be encompassed
By One of a higher command
Thus we have nothing to fear.
