New

Hops, steps and hurdles
Sometimes, trying times
Inept, my fumbles
Bumbling and crossed-lines

Such imperfections
Tight-fitting your lies
Feeling unworthy
Still I will survive

A new dawn, brazen
Like a shooting star
Filling up the night
Keeping troubles far

Great expectations
Wishing just for you
Hope, my cup runneth
Faith, a gift renewed

Champagne and roses
A toast to those dear
Never forgotten
Lost loves this past year

Take my hand darling
Together unite
Peace for my brethren
Celebrate this night
