2012 / 2013
The old year closes. / The new year opens.
Successes, but sorrows too. / Now much to plan and strive for.
New friends made, some old ones gone. / New doors open, new dreams dawn.
Have we done some good? / Can we do still more?
What is our score to date? / Somehow let’s try harder.
What have we learned? / Up to us to make the most of it.
Who doesn’t have bad luck? / Best to buck up and press on.
2012 is history now. / 2013 is blank pages yet.
What awaits us? / Even a sage can’t tell.
Our journey goes on and on. / Oh, to know how it will end!
Let us do our best. / And feel good in that.
Savor each day. / Play down our regrets.
Say Amen. / And take our rest.

I wish you all the best!
