The last day of a horrible year
We have lost people who are dear
With each day 2016 got worse
And people sang their last verse
But that was then and life goes on
As we live out our own life's song
We look to 2017 as a brand new day
Knowing that things will be a better way
When the golden last hour will chime
And we say adieu to the 2016 in old time
Hogmanay celebrations we all enjoy
Looking forward with optimism and joy.
