New Year's Eve Party

Post by Neville Briggs » Mon Dec 30, 2013 6:48 am

NEW YEAR'S EVE PARTY

Let's raise a glass to wash away the past
and party till the midnight hour is here.
Can't live it over, that's too hard to ask,
just take the path ahead; another year.

We'll party till the midnight hour is here,
try not to notice how the years go fast
but take the path ahead; another year
that in its time will fade, as did the last.

Try not to notice how the years go fast,
how all those treasures that we held so dear
have, in their time still faded like the last
old year, and year before and year by year

Though hindsight seems to be so wise and clear,
can't live it over that's too hard to ask,
and surely something new is worth a cheer;
let's raise a glass to wash away the past.

Hi Neville,
No matter how we try to move our lives on, it's often hard to forget the past.

All the best in the new year Neville.

Our plans for the coming year, include doing a trip over tother side and then doing do a bit of touring.

Cheers Terry

Good one Nevlle - that's the spirit - onwards ever onwards, no time for regrets. My feeling is that 2014 is going to be a bonzer year, if we chose to let it be :D
