2001 - Year of Lonely Heart

Friendships honored, toast of cheer
Ends another passing year
For the sake of Auld Lang Syne
Fill this crystal glass of mine

Sip the new of old champaign
Sparkling bubbles kill the pain
Sing along that dreary hymn
Churning memories within

Here’s to friendship, here’s to time
Here’s to love that was sublime
Though the hour is much too late
Still we have to celebrate

New Years Eve is masked in cheer
To welcome in the coming year
Two thousand one about to start
It is the Year of Lonely Heart

Thank you all for your responses. I never did like celebrating New Years Eve. But I intend to have a great year. A new grandson arriving in March and perhaps a trip or two. And another year at passions.
Thanks
Liz

Liz~

Know that my prayers are with you, this was well expressed and I relate all too well to the words, but even then each case of pain and loss is it's own type of hell and so I may not know your pain, but I do understand and care.  I wish you the best, know that you have friends here
