Happy New Year 2025! · 1 January 2025

Happy New Year! It is 2025!
Oh what a great day, to be so alive.
The old year has gone, it is time for the new
But before we celebrate, let us review.

The old year did bring, days numbered 366
Yes, leap year it seems, did bring its old tricks.
That one extra day, to live a bit more
Or to be down in the dumps, or be a little bit sore.

I suppose we could dwell, on the bad things of the year
Of disasters and happenings, that caused us much fear
Of wars and destruction, we bring one another
Even though we are all, sisters and brothers.

But good happened too, you just need open your eyes
You woke up each day, with or without the sunrise
Whether clouds muted the sun, or blocked it completely
It was there to give light, oh ever so neatly.

And the moon and the stars, were there in the night
Comets and auroras, oh what a beautiful sight.
Yes, God gives us nature and beauty and love
To show us His gifts, all come from above.

God also sent people, who were a sight for sore eyes
The people who smiled, who made their own sun rise.
The people who cared, who brought you up with a smile
The people who shared, who went the extra mile.

Yes, the old year it brought, the good times and bad
We went through the emotions, both happy and sad.
But that happens each year, that we live on this earth
We take the good with the bad, each day since our birth.

So I am happy to live, in the year 2025
It will be such a great year, to be so alive.
Because on my journey, I have family and friends
People who love me, until our time ends.

I hope that you too, are equipped for your trek
If not, just grab friends, and say, “What the heck.”
For it is a great day, to be so alive.
Happy New Year! It is 2025!
