Hope

The old year sets, the new one arises
Both have a message to give
A lesson from the old, a whisper from the new
They teach us that life is to live.

Old anguish, despair, sorrow and pain
Is best left behind in the past
Those colors best fading quietly away
Not repainted to last.

If life is to be lived on memories alone,
Remember to keep them mellow
Look for the white within the black
For the good in each of your fellow

When the sun rises on that new dawn
Let its new rays warm your heart
Let the golden light spell novelty
A new path and a new start!

It is never too late to begin again
You are never too old to cope
Let the feeling of newness engulf you in its warmth
The greatest feeling of HOPE!
