Brand New Beginnings

 

As the new year

draws ever nearer,

and the close

draws ever closer,

I’m reminded

of all the times.

Good and bad,

joyful and sad.

All the memories,

things said and done.

Some of misery,

some of fun.

And I think of the new ones

to be made along the way.

Every minute

of every day.

Every close

leaves room for an open.

Brand new dreams,

and brand-new hopes.

Brand new beginnings

and friendships and more.

Adventures unknown await in store.

So although this year

draws close to an end,

a brand-new beginning

waits just round the bend.
