A Poem for the New Year


At the Stroke of Midnight

 
The champagne and poppers are ready,
The family have gathered all ready,
Food and laughter pass the time away,
A brand new year is on its way.

As the night gets colder,
We realise we’re a year older,
Laugh at the memories that come to mind,
And tears come for those we left behind.

But the countdown has begun,
And Auld Lang Syne will be sung,
Hold loved ones close to your heart
For now begins a brand new start.

Only ten seconds to go,
The champagne begins to flow,
It’s not long before a new year
will finally be here.

So raise your glass,
Another year will pass,
A new era will begin tonight,
At the stroke of midnight.
