The past years
The sad and happy memories
All forgiven by another year left to pass
Memories of occasions filling the year
Another Hanukkah, Christmas and Eid
Time for joy and misery of the dead
Who left touching our souls for another place
Devilish eyes in search of new plans
A new start for time to make its search
Left each year grabbing on to another
Only wait for the end of this world
Which will soon erupt
I face forward as memories swoosh by
Living my smile and turning to frown
Embracing each occasion will take too long
For I have to move on
Escaping each lie for one truth
I have made it to another year for a promise
A time for prayer
A time for peace
Silencing the fireworks
For the touch of your inner child
Speaking silently Another wasted year
