Aspirations

New hopes, new dreams

new aspirations

as a New Year dawns

No looking back

no regrets

no thoughts of
what might have been

Wipe the slate clean

You have another chance

to set right what went wrong

Look ahead to good times

You can make them happen

if you try hard enough

Tell those you love

how you feel about them

don't hold back anymore

If the words are in your heart

just bring them to your lips

say them out loud 

A new year is here

fresh, bright and pristine

Paint it in colours
you want life to be

Add a lot of yellow

to bring sunshine into your life

Throw in a dash of red

for energy and vitality

A touch of blues and greens

for serenity and peace

Orange to make it vibrant

white for purity, pink for love

Steer clear of

blacks and greys

for though they exist

they'll add themselves

to the palette

just so you can know

the pain of loss and sorrow

and rejoice all the more

for the good things

yet to come
