Year Break
Snow on the ground, the thermometer’s cold
The ball drop is over, the party grows old
A new year is dawning, resolutions are rife
Weight loss, a new job, or to end war and strife
Plans at their brightest, shiny and new
Yet many the same ones we had last year too
So what truly is different, save a tick of the clock,
A change in the date, and a new party frock?
If the old year hasn’t taught us one single thing
No light can it shed on what the new one will bring
When the hoopla dies down what will remain
Is a world growing weary, tired, and mundane
Yet we face the world with hope in our hearts
That the story of the last holiday, Christmas, imparts
Tidings of joy and peace to the Earth
For we celebrate once more our Savior’s Birth
