New Year 2007
The year begins with warmth and lots of light,
the year went out with dark and heavy rain.
We say these things in order to explain
just how the change comes, in order to do right
by all that's past and all will be bright
in conception, though we still will strain
to overcome the normal wear and pain.
Each sunny day's a sign that the long fight
has some real purpose, though we cannot tell
where we are going yet we forward march
towards the objective, to what we hope to get
for all our efforts; we'll pass through hell
itself to reach our goal, pass through the arch
in triumph. Above all, we will not forget.
