I hope you bring me joy and lots of laughs
I pray you take care of my family and keep them in a close grasp
I wish for nothing but the best in the next year of my life
But even if you can’t hold your end of the deal and some things may sting
I will still appreciate the growth that the season will bring
I know the experiences will be worth while
Even if some of them don’t make me smile
I’m excited for the planned and unplanned of the next season
Just please throw them at me with good reason
I welcome you with open arms
And pray for a good year of planting and harvest for all farms
Bless the land and all it grows
So that I can thank you whenever the wind blows
Watch over our country and all those who serve
Shine a bright light over us that we can observe
2024 will be hard to beat
Since everything I did was just so so sweet
I will dearly miss what last year gave
But so thrilled for my new road to be paved
