Tick,

The year is dying,

Tock,

It is old,

Tick,

And weary,

Tock,

Full of pain,

Tick tock,

But it isn't afraid,

Tick,

The year is vying,

Tock,

To be born anew,

Tick,

With hope on the horizon,

Tock,

A fresh start,

Tick tock,

And the desire to change,

Tick,

The year is buying,

Tock,

Itself a chance,

Tick,

To grow,

Tock,

To be the year it wants to be,

Tick,

No matter how many chances it takes,

Tock,

No matter how small the steps are,

Tick tock,

It is still a step in the right direction.

Tick tock,

Boom.
