recorded reading
The old year makes his exit now –
As the curtain gently falls.
Goodbye to scenes of mirth and joy
To worries, large and small.
He walked this earthly path with us
Through seasons of the year.
Sharing our days of happiness
And those which brought us tears.
Welcomed in with church bells
And fireworks in the sky.
He saw the birth of babies;
Stood by the ones who died.
He beheld the spring in blossom
Enjoyed long summer days.
He painted autumn colours
Also cloudy days of grey.
He knew our hopes, our sorrows,
But now he must depart –
For the year has gone full circle –
And a new year soon will start.
