New Year
A New year
A new beginning
A new me
Is beckoning.
New Years resolutions
That no one keeps
"Maybe this time"
Yah right- says me
New goals and plans
New places to go
New memorable times
Made down Happiness Road.
A new year
Brought in with cheers
Regurgitated confetti
With a "pop" appears.
Horns are blown
And clappers clapped
May I have my chapstick?
My lips are chapped.
A new year
Came in on the countdown
Just a bunch of Mormons
Who will rock this town!
This is a time
To take new views
To be on the way
To be a better me and you.
To be more kind
Or eat less chocolate
To be more mature...
Wait, what?
A new year
Is the sign of rebirth
A time to start fresh
Living without regrets.
New new new
That's what it's about
New new new
It makes me want to shout.
Different, change
All mean the same thing
When what it does
Is happiness bring.
Maybe this time
I can stick to my goals
Tha's a slim chance
As you and I know.
Maybe it will be different
Maybe things have changed
I need to take my priorities
And have them rearranged.
A new year
A new fresh start
While staying true
To who you are.
