**A New Year**
*The year begins anew,
*With hope's bright colors flowing,
*A canvas bare, awaiting hue,
*Where dreams begin to grow.
*The past is but a story,
*A chapter now drawn,
*The future lies before us,
*A blank page, unfurled.
*So let us embrace change,
*With gentle steps, untrodden,
*Let go of yesterdays,
*And let new chapters unfold.
*With open hearts and minds,
*Let us dream big,
*Let us reach for the stars,
*And make our hopes come true.
*For this is a new year,
*A year of possibilities,
*A year of hope and promise,
*A year of new beginnings.
*So let us celebrate,
*And let the good times roll,
*For this is a new year,
*A year to be bold.
