For Auld Lang Syne

It’s the end of the year
And we are still here
Watching the clock tick away
The last minutes of this day.
2006 -- at last spent
We’ll consider what it meant.

New Year’s Eve’s for the young
When Auld Lang Synes sung
And glasses are heard clinking
In midnight toasts by those drinking
Salutes to the year that passes
The new cheered with raised glasses.
Sweethearts will be kissed
Friends not around will be missed.

These winter days it’s just fine
To have bedtime at nine
For my sweetheart named Jon
Who’s up long before dawn
We’ll leave the partying to the rest
We’re just thankful we 're blest
And are welcoming 2007
Here on earth not in heaven
