As people cheer
and dance about
We all reflect
on what has passed
What has gone
on in daily lives
Around this planet
wide and vast
The miracles
both great and small
New friendships made and old ones kept
The loved ones
gone and still around
Joyous laughter,
sadness wept
The little things
that brought a smile
The great events
in distant lands
Small victories
both won and lost
The kisses, hugs and holding hands
Another year
has come and gone
Another Auld
Lang Syne is sung
The ball descends,
the clock chimes 12
A brand new year
has now begun
