A new year is dawning, no need for the fawning, but yet please, no yawning, it is a new year.
A year to be thankful, you are still alive
To treat all with kindness and not to connive
12 months to get righteous, to love and not hate
Instead, bite your tongue and never tempt fate
Love all in your covenant, speak true and be kind
Perhaps in return, there is love you will find
The fact that you’re breathing and sit above ground
Enjoy the good fortune, while you’re still around
The days, weeks and months will completely fly by
To close next December on a natural high
