Herein lies the eulogy of the year Two Thousand Six
With its triumphs and its tragedies both thrown into the mix
A year pot marked with learning about life and how to live
And an undetermined yearning met with little left to give
We look onward towards tomorrow for the brighter days ahead
And leave all the heartfelt sorrow with the dying and the dead
We calculate the deeds we’ve done and resolve to do our best
To make the next year full of fun and take more time to rest
But uncertainty is the only truth which envelopes future days
As we relegate our misspent youth and wasted selfish ways
We resolve to make a difference in the year which soon arrives
In the hopes to find acquaintance for the things we have contrived
Our conscious gets the best of us around this time of year
Its visions can be treacherous and fill our hearts with fear
Yet somewhere in our spirit there resides a calming voice
If you listen you can hear it as it offers up a choice
It tells us that the future brings a chance to make amends
With subtle tones its chorus sings and helps our hearts to mend
Its melody, which ebbs and flows, brings serenity to light
With words arranged in metered prose it calls out to us this night
Fear not the days which lie ahead, fear not the thought of pain
Fear not the path on which you’re lead, nor lack of the humane
Fear not the troubled world around, fear not your soul within
Fear not what horrors may abound, nor the turmoil they begin
Fear not the coming of the dawn; Fear not its blinding light
Fear not the shadows that are drawn to the darkness of the night
Fear not uncertain livelihood, Fear not which you don’t know
For life which is misunderstood leaves room for souls to grow
Two Thousand Six has lived its life its essence in full view
Marching onward to the sounding fife we bid a fond adieu
We lay to rest the past this day and welcome the New Year
For Two Thousand six now fades away, and with it fades our fear.
