And like a wave born of a swell
Another year is upon us
Racing in to the shore
Pulling the remnants of the previous year away
To memory
We bid farewell to the old year
A time of growth and awareness
Joy and loss
A new year beckons
With the promises a new day brings
The tides turning
Presenting new opportunities
And possibilities
That we should grasp
With both hands
Before they slip away
With the tides…
