Happy New Year with an announcement blast
A life of one year doesn’t stay and doesn’t last
Every life is very short
Twelve months of life go fast
Twelve hours of the day has a fleeting shadow cast
Time sails the ship with a wind mast
Lest the coming days don’t make us aghast
We can’t predict it we can’t holdfast
We don’t get what we asked
Celebrate the last year we safely passed
