Another Year has appeared.
And the last ended abruptly;
Another sun has risen on this day.
Soon,it will begin anew.
Shall I speak the truth?
With every passing moment,
we live
we die
we grow and learn.
We become what we create ourselves to be.
The day grows old,
the air chills.
A new age has been reached.
Hold the possibilities in your palm.
Sort them out,
take your pick.
Make wise choices,
because each will matter.
Knowledge is only accumulated through wisdom.
And wisdom is only found through experience.
Experience shall take many a year,
but the outcome is worth the wait.
Now, take your new age and begin with a clean
slate.
