Air horns blare, fireworks light the sky
To welcome the incoming year
All hoping hardships disappear
Good fortunes rise, when troubles fly
Many will make resolutions
To eliminate bad habits
To renew body and spirits
Sadly for some, mere delusions
But a few will start life anew
And the fortunate ones, they are
Who’ll find their path, led by a star
While others drift, unsure and blue
Ring in the new with hearts that soar
A brighter year than one before
