A New Year Dawning. Poem by Colleen Wright

The earth revolves and brings a new dawning
as into 2007 we merge from another morning.
 
Celebrations continue as Christmas does pass
and into a new age our lives speed by - so fast.

Let us all be aware and thankful to have survived
to live to this new age, and of how we have strived.
 
Some of us have had sorrow and pain to grow and learn,
while others seem to have had life with 'money to burn'.
 
The time will come when we all will live to appreciate
that peace and love in life means most, never too late.
