Goodbye 2005

The end of the year nears
Its time to take a break
Time to look back on twelve months past
And for the future, a resolution make

Momentous, this year has been
In more ways than can be seen
Choices, decisions and changes have marked
My year of three and nineteen

Many a new friend have i made
Many an old friendship renewed
Some relationships sundered in tears
But in time, on I moved

The year began on a sombre note
Varuna displayed his awesome power
The ocean rose, reared up its head
Wreaked havoc, made us shudder

Spring brought with it new life
Colouring up a world that was brown and white
The flowers bloomed, the mynahs sang
We all smiled; the world seemed right

Summer was spent in discovery
Research, music and family
Time with friends - some here, some back home
Its a time I would go back to happily

Fall, a time to work hard
Classes and profs driving us to learn
A new music group, also we began
All ensuring we stayed up, keeping the candles a'burn

Christmas, a season of love
Brought with it much merriment
Friends from near and afar together
Driving away all cause for lament

Its been a good year, this last one
I've grown, matured, learnt a lot
Now its time to say, goodbye 2005
And welcome the coming year, a brand new start
