As the new year approaches we don't know what it brings
As we close the door on the year that has gone
With hope, love, excitement our heart gladly sings
As we hope 2015 will be a better one.
So here's to the dreams and the hopes of us all
I raise my glass highly in a jovial toast
May tonight be a good one may you all have a ball
And may the new year bring you what you desire the most.
It's there staring back, the writing on the wall
That familiar reflection who's eyes have seen it all
The face smiles back at her, the one she's had for life
Lines etched by joy, compassion, hatred and strife.
A canvas of living, with fleshly bound desires
An image of trying for everything life requires
The hunger constantly drives her with urgent requisite
Eating up the time and savouring every bit.
Inside her mind hiding sits the inner child
And when life fights back she finds herself so riled
But the eyes know that there's lots more to this
And for a moment, now and again, she finds her inner bliss.
Age is like a marker, the fingerprint of time
Like seasons of the year travelling towards her prime
And as the body changes because time is ticking on
She knows there's something else and she's not the only one.
