The last day of the year draws near,
A time of reflection, a moment clear.
Memories gathered, moments held tight,
A tapestry of days, fading into night.

The clock's hands move, relentless, true,
Marking time's passage, as moments accrue.
Laughter and tears, joys and fears,
Each year a chapter, throughout the years.

The sun sets low, casting golden hue,
A promise of dawn, a start anew.
Whispers of hope, dreams unfurled,
As the canvas of time unfurls.

Gather 'round, with loved ones near,
To bid farewell to yesteryear.
With gratitude for lessons learned,
And anticipation for what's to be discerned.

So, as the year's curtain starts to fall,
Embrace the memories, big and small.
For in the dance of time, as seasons sway,
Tomorrow's promise beckons, leading the way.
