Off With the Old

This year is almost over

Twelve hours left to the dot. 

Once the clock strikes midnight 

A New Year will have begun. 

What the New Year holds 

We do not know,

But it's the beginning of a new decade 

So, let's ride it out, it might be fun!

 The past year had been a joy,

A curse, a nightmare, and a blessing. 

It was filled with tears, love and happiness. 

Memories made have been engraved. 

This year is almost over,

Twelve hours to the dot. 

Once the clock strikes midnight 

A New Year will have begun.
