As another year trots in
To give us a chance at life once again
As another year slowly fades out
Into the night sky tonight
As Kindness, compassion and peace
Works together to fill our hearts with happiness
It’s time to say goodbye now
To part ways with the memories bitter
As those moments of sweetness
Dripping with joy, sticking
To our hearts forever
Bringing smiles to moments
Not so bright
Off you go 2016
Yesteryear you are now
Another fulfilled year you were
I hope, to everyone
Another memory you are now
Now step back, and make way
For the new year
Of hope and happiness
Another chance for us
To look forward to
Off you go 2016
Welcome 2017!
Void Thoughts 
perfect words to end the year and welcome in a new one
