Hogmanay Of 2005

Yes, it’s that time of the year again
The time of looking back in gentle sighs
Of things left unsaid and still much undone
And days in the sun and weeks in the rain

But truth be told, I’ve had more than my share
Of years that came and how they left me
Of resolutions astray and dreams undone
And hopes adamant when all else failed

But still I believed, in the sacred golden meadows
That patiently awaits me somewhere down the years
Bearing praises and smiles and words of all comfort
For all that I’ve done and all that will be

And thus I shall carve a path of all gold
On the onset of Hogmanay of 2005
Though may there be thorns or Leis on my road
I know that my sky would always befriend me…

And I shall go on, to find my old path
A path to the heavens, beyond the vermilion
The ones that I’ve lost, when fate hits me twenty
The ones that will lead, to where my heart’s buried
