Here’s to the New Year

Here’s to strengthening friendships, making new ones, letting go of the old.

Here’s to finding that special someone for your hand to hold.

Here’s to new life, and saluting the ones lost. The battles fought, and the lives war will cost.

Here’s to “how time flies” and stories to remember it by.

Here’s to beautiful sunsets that will paint the sky.

Here’s to date nights, Friendsgiving, and everything in between.

Here’s to the love that was shared between you and me.

Here’s to the memories still to be made, snowmen, and apple picking, front porch talks with lemonade.

Here’s to the pain, and the lessons learned from it. Here’s to learning from the past, so those mistakes were the last.

Here’s to family dinners, and starting new adventures. Going off the beaten path and starting our own. Becoming the best versions of us, the world has ever known.

Here’s to living up to our mistakes, and getting big breaks. To the dares and risks we are yet to take.

Here’s to new opinions, respecting each other, here’s to love we will share with one another.

Here’s to the future, to another year, may it be filled with love, hope, happiness, grace, and good cheer.
