Awaken to a new day
And with it another year
What did the past year mean to you
How did you really fare


Think back upon the past year
With all its memories
For there is naught can change it
Gone like a silent breeze


Was it filled with good times
When laughter did abound
A year like none before it
With good friends all around


Were there times of turmoil
With your life in disarray
Did those friends then stand beside you
Did they know just what to say


Friends beside to just share with you
Those bad times that did come
To help to raise your spirits
And not allow you to succumb


Was it a year of something special
Perhaps a friend was wed
Maybe a journey of a lifetime
Or a grandchild born instead


There surely were some sad times
When a loved one was called home
Then no matter what did follow
Some days you felt alone


The days and weeks do pass on by
While on this earth we stay
So always do be thankful
That you have seen another day


So with the dawning of another year
Choose a path to follow true
Then you will never have cause to regret
Those things you choose to do.


So awaken to a new day
And with it another year
Thank the Lord that you have seen it
Why not start it with a prayer
