The chime of twelve is striking now
Yet I cannot be sad somehow
For something sounds within my heart
This is the chance for a new start.
Forget about the things unseen
For they are only might have been
Behind me leave the hidden pain
Pick up myself, begin again.
For this New Year will be the one
Old things away and new begun
At last the chimes will show the way
Turning this evening into day.
I have the faith, I have the power
For this will be my finest hour
Yes, positive is what I'll be
Within this new reality.

"For this will be my finest hour"
funny
i was coming home about 5:00 p.m.
as i waited for the crossing light
i was thinking
"58 never looked so good"
a sort of this can be my best year ever
(i'm only 29 and use 58 for personal reasons
lol)
a wonderful new outlook for 2008
you did a superb job

I love your positive outlook,I have not seriously
made any resolutions yet, so I applaud any one who
has made the commitment.
Best of luck in the contest.

A perfect way to start the New Year. A positive thought process to make the rest of the year be what you want and give you what you need.
Great thinking....Good luck in the New Year.

I think people make too much of a hype about the New Years. Though I do think this piece was very well written I just don't understand the huge deal over 01-01!
Well good luck in the contest.
