My friend, last year is gone but the nest years are long.
Forsake the hurts that entered when some things went wrong.
Leave behind the memories that tortured you so!
Let heavenly goodness be your friend, not your foe.
Move on my friend and start having good memories.
Again, have new adventures and discoveries.
O, try to find new skills and talents that you own.
But may your main purpose be not just to be known.
To find happiness you don’t have to be a star.
So cheer up my friend and be more than who you are.
May the years to come be the best years you will have.
Enjoy life and life, you must save, protect, and love.
With the best warm wishes I greet you my dear friend.
O, may the years of your life never ever end!
