This
Is
A
Beginning. Our beginning.
The new year is ours;
Ours, together.
Surrounded by the love
Of friends,
New and known,
We will own the new year.

This
Is
The
Time. Our time.
Hands clasped tightly,
We welcome the new year;
With love in our eyes,
In our hearts,
We bravely face the new year.
It was made for us.

This
We
Will
Keep. These memories.
As we laugh,
We hide these memories
In jeweled boxes in our minds.
One day, when we are cold,
We will relive these memories;
The memories of a new year.

This
Is
An
Ending. Our ending.
We let go of this year,
Without a backward glance.
Joy on our faces,
We turn our backs
And push away this year.
We are eager for the new year.
