The time is here, more that just another day,
The clocks keep ticking the time away,
To reach its hands upon the twelve,
Another year is on its way.

Reflections of the life you’d had,
Some memories of happiness,
But regrettably, some of sad,
Of those you’d loved fading out into another year,
Filled with gladness remembered,
Filled with emptiness now feared.

Let’s ring in the New Year of, “2010”,
Let’s be thankful for all of what was sown,
If only for one passing minute of twelve,
Reflecting on how it is, in Christ we have grown.
