Two-thousand-nine is almost done
And twenty-ten will soon be here
When "Auld Lang Syne" is sweetly sung
We'll welcome in a brand new year
Our hopes and dreams will rise anew
In promise of a brighter day
We will commit to see things through
And clear those hurdles in our way
Fresh words will flow from brain to screen
And characters will spring to life
With writing always crisp and clean
And pages full of hope and strife
To all my friends and friends-to-be
Successful wishes I now send
And hope before next year is through
We all will smile and write THE END
