Ring out the Old, Ring in the New
It seems this past year just flew
Another year gone, part of the past
Another year come, with hope that will last

Ring out the Old, Ring in the New
Wonder of wonders, this January I'll be sixty-two!

Looking over my shoulder at things gone by,
Looking over the hill as snowbirds fly
Some of last year made me cry,
Maybe this year I'll be feeling high

Singing, working, writing, praying,
Watching children happily playing

The future is bright, tho some days are blue,
When you Ring out the Old and Ring in the New.

Author Notes
A New Year poem a little late. Thanks to avmurray for artwork.
