Time (A Tribute to the New Year)

Another year gone by.
365 days,
Pass within a blink.
Time escaped me.
So caught up in the moment,
I didn't notice the clock.

Tick

Toc

Tick

Toc

I think back,
Sometimes I wish I could change
Just one thing.
But while time escapes me,
I cannot escape time
Or change what has been done.
Time is a constant thing,
Never ending.
Moving forward,
Even when I wish it to stop.
But time,
It is not a sad thing.
Because it gave me the past
It's giving me the present
And most of all,
It's allowing me to make a future,
To live each day
For the greater good.

And now,
As I watch the ball drop,

Taking me towards a new day

I smile to myself

A time to forgive

I open my arms

And embrace the future

This is my life

Happy New Year.
