A new year has arrived
with whispers and sighs
Speaking my dreams for all to hear
I carry heavy guilt and fear
Yet this truth I know for sure
Life has but one cure
But I refuse to be cowed
My spirit unbowed
I advance with head held high
Telling the old year good-bye
2014 has arrived
2013 was survived
Forward is a motion
That is the way I'm going
Looking ahead not behind
This new year is mine!
