With enlightened eyes
We say goodbye
As another year’s
End is nigh
When the clock strikes 12
And people cheer
There’s no denying
It’s another year
With eyes wide open
Welcome in the new
And to the old
We bid adieu
Reflecting on all
We’ve lived and learned
Hoping in the new year
All our wishes be affirmed
Jessica M. Collette 
Amen and amen, my beautiful daughter!!
