Welcome to a New Year
A new beginning
A new start.

Welcome, they say with open arms.
Welcome, they chant merrily.
Welcome, they holler out into the wind.

This is the year, bright and merry and welcoming.
This is the year, full of hope and forgiveness and love
This is the year, open to possibilities.

So open your arms, open your heart, open your mind.
Open the hearts of those around you, and know that the year does the same.
It's time for new things, good things.

It's time for the New Year.
