The Bright New Year

Submitted by Hannah W. on Tue, 01/06/2009 - 14:50

'Another year has passed us by,'
say the old and weary
while the young and starry-eyed
see a bright new future nearing

'Times of trouble 'round the bend'
but we see a hopeful light,
this can't be very end
we see with a different sight

Out on the horizon,
glowing like the great warm sun
not setting-- it's rising
and toward it we will run and run

Meeting our fate head on,
brave, and bold, and true
and young and strong and wise beyond
our years-- that's me and you

We're free and we'll stay that way
and together we've no fear
we run out to greet each day
ad face our bright new year

I started writing this on the 2nd, but I never finished it until now. Oh well, it's only the sixth day of the new year anyway, so it still works.
