WHEN THE SUN RISES TO A NEW YEAR

Tonight we say goodbye to a New year filled with many surprises,

But fortunate are the ones whom still stand, whom remain blessed.

A year of life has been granted to most, some have been said a goodbye,

We take for granted at times the beauty we do see, tomorrow may not be.

Oh!but the gifts that have fallen down upon this man as he asks of losses,

Yesterday is no longer, today almost a memory, tomorrow a new beginning.

For every smile given, a smile in return has passed my way, truly blessed,

Faces with name are mine too remember, too hold onto for many years.

When the sun rises the gift of life will be shown too so many in this world,

A New year that brings with it great possibilities and dreams come true.

Thoughts of new friends as others vanish with the passing time,

Life goes on and so do we, I sit here tonight by a fire and reflect.

Music from the boss is my inspiration and friend as the night closes in,

Always does a light shine in my eyes and a smile when thoughts of you.

Happy New Year, Keith Garrett
