New Year
  It's the end of the year
  And I sit and wonder
  About all the days that passed.
  It's been tough
  And I learnt much
  To make me face the future.
  I gained so much
  And lost some too,
  I fell so many times
  I can't remember.
  I crawled my way up
  And never gave up
  And now I thank my past
  To behold the future.
  I made mistakes
  I was bruised and scarred
  But now I know
  How to face the dark.
  I had happy times
  Which I won't forget
  And now I know
  How to have some fun.
  I smiled and laughed
  I cried and raged
  But now I know
  The rules of the game.
  I lost some friends
  And I met some others
  but now I know
  The ones who really care.
  This year, begone
  Hail, new days
  Now I feel stronger
  As I step into the future.

 
This poem talks about leaning from the past and bravely facing the future...
