Behold this day a year anew
Regale the dawn with welcome tide
What e’er tomorrow may ensue
Cast yesterday’s lament aside

Regale the dawn with welcome tide
Pine not for auld lang syne now spent
Cast yesterday’s lament aside
Apprised from time in precedent

Pine not for auld lang syne now spent
Life’s guarantee by moments found
Apprised from time in precedent
There’s surety in life’s redound

Life’s guarantee by moments found
Rejoice in each new morning ray
There’s surety in life’s redound
Foresee ahead enlightened day

Rejoice in each new morning ray
Futurity’s from past defined
Foresee ahead enlightened day
Embrace the new with open mind

Futurity’s from past defined
What e’er tomorrow may ensue
Embrace the new with open mind
Behold this day a year anew…

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

Happy New Year to you as well     This is phenomenally written and I love the technique you used by using the second line of each stanza and placing it as the first line in the next and so on...you make it look so easy and it flows like a song, and yet I know that it's a challenge to do. You're one of the masters of perfect rhyme!

Take care,
Melissa
