Another Year

Hear the bells ring as they foretell of another new year?
Out with the old, in with the new
Another year I have to live with my heartache, to which I wish I could steer clear
My perspectives now I must review.

I am glad to be alive, but not thankful for all I had to go trough
In the autumn of my life I should be happy and gay
But the hand of fate dealt me a very bad hand, at times I am so sad and blue
I must try and be strong, so I can face another day.

My heartache and loss has made me very strong
I guess some one else may have taken their own life
But my strength helps me cope, the life to which I belong
I do have my husband, the very love of my life.

So another year is getting ready to show everyone it's brand new face
Me praying this year will be better than all the rest
Another year to face with strength, in this life, in this place
Please be a good year, from heart ache and pain I need a rest.

I look to you, my husband, my life, to help get me through another long year
But as long as I have you, I can smile
Being with you, my love, I wish to remain by your side for a long long while
Another year, my strength will help me survive, but also your sweet sweet smile.
