A new day, a new year.

Earth continues her journey around the sun Never-ending, constant.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow

As he king-killing scot said.

***

And yet, every tomorrow starts with a fresh dawn

New light, new hope, new opportunity.

Earth orbits the sun, but that sun shines:

Illuminating our way through the dark and cold

Sending us light and heat

New light, new heat, new dawn, new year.
