New Year's Day

The party's cleared away,
for a world ashen grey.
Now all the hope are done,
A new year has begun.

What is left to say,
in a world so ashen grey.
Hope for summers sun,
When a New Year's just begun.

This year like the last,
Will soon fly past.
Buried with all the rest.
No promise it won't be the last.

Live each day with cheer
Doubt not and never fear.
This is a New Year of hope again.
The New Year has just begun.
