You’re the flicker of each morning
and the aromas of the night,
your strength’s an enduring pillar
that fills my life with light.
Your flame sways with each moment
never ceasing as I breathe,
you’re the gift of illumination
caught in rhythm of life’s breeze.
Now as the New Year falls at last
and a new year to begin-
I’m blessed to witness calm resolve
from your taper’s warming grin.
You light my life up sweetheart
every day by your unending love!

We don't play this in Holland, but it sure sounds fun! 
I hope I did this right. I've used the candle as a metaphor of my sweetie. I hope you enjoy 
Happy New Year!

Hello Holland! And welcome to the Black Forest for your authentic Roman prediction...
We have recast your bell into a:
CANDLE, meaning = Like a light in the darkness, in the new year, someone will be at your side who is dear to your heart. On that, you can depend.
The German, in case you'd like to compare it to the Dutch goes like this:
Kerze - Wie ein Licht in der Dunkelheit wird im neuen Jahr jemand an Ihrer Seite sein, der Ihnen von Herzen zugetan ist. Sie können sich fest darauf verlassen.
Hope you enjoyed playing the secret of the lead castings and that it will inspire a fun poem for the New Year.
Happy 2009!
