Another year ends
Another year begins
Another year of dreams
Left floating in the wind
Another year of fears
Another year of love
Another year of triumphs
Which ones will you keep hold of
The small
The big
The ones so easily forgotten
The felt
The changed
The ones that left you certain
Where do you go from here
At this point where the year comes to an end
How do you decide what to do next
Can you be your own best friend
Take it easy for a moment
Don’t beat yourself so hard
Life can give you lemons
And catch you right off guard
Remember what counts for you
Remember your own steps forward
Remember what you’ve learnt
That is your own reward
Acknowledge what has made you wiser
Acknowledge the challenges overcome
Acknowledge your own values
Plan what you can become
Each day creates a new beginning
Each year lets you see where you’re winning
Each decade is a transition
But each moment is where you can start shining
