The new year Poem, by Daniel, at My poetic side

As this year comes to an end
And as we celebrate its passing
We now reflect on what has been
As we welcome a new beginning

Resolutions to be made and forgot
Like we have so many years before
New friendships forged and lost
Old acquaintances to be ignored

So I ask for what it is we celebrate
When we cheer the new year in
Is it because we are full of hope
Of what the year may bring

Or are we that creature of habit
Who finds comfort in its repeat
Or is it because we love a party
And it's an excuse to have a drink

The new year
