Another New Year

With the end of a year another starts
Love appears to grow inside my heart.
I leave behind the old and embrace the new
I awake this morning to a sky so blue.

I think of beginning arising from ends
I remember the old embracing new trends.
All seems connected the past and future
What lies ahead I am really not sure.

I wonder about this brand new path
I try to add it up yet can’t do the math.
Though there is hope I remember the past
I see this new love and hope it shall last.

The year has changed yet I feel the same
I find myself searching to find the right name.
With the promise of this year I leave the past behind
But the memories still linger in the back of my mind.

I go out in the world and try something new
I feel quite lost and don’t know what to do.
I know that the love in my heart remains true
I look forward to spending this year with you.

I think that perhaps I should make a plan
I find myself back where I once had began.
I see that I must start over again
To have some faith and say Amen.

I plant some new seed in hope that they grow
In this new place there is much I don’t know.
I know you shall reap what the seeds you sow
Then I just feel, the cold winds blow.
