New Year Magic
I love the thought of a new year
The possibilities of magic that floats in the air
A chance to reset and dream big dreams
Oh, the possibilities the new year will bring
As I look back over the past year
I reminisce about all the moments so dear
The special time spent with family and friends
The ornery laugh from my granddaughter and her mischievous grin
The past year wasn’t easy by any means
The COVID virus brought much hardship to the world
Making us rethink our priorities and sending our thoughts in a twirl
But as life goes on like it always does
We try to grab the small blessings from above
The newfound closeness spent with family at home
The new adventures created when we were forced to be alone
Now I look forward to the new year
Hoping God will heal the world and bring much-needed cheer
Cherishing my time with loved ones and always hold them near
Dreaming my dreams and hopes I will gather
Knowing that relationships and love are all that really matter
So, wishing you a new year full of blessing
Gaining knowledge from all life’s lessons
So, raise your glass this new year
To anything that you hold dear
Your life awaits you so grab it by the horns
You never know what magnificent memories will be born!
