The past year has brought with it fear, turmoil, pain, anguish,
Along with it experiences, and people I will always cherish.
Looking back now, the Lord has been good to me in spite of,
I've gained emotional strenght, peace, contentment, and genuine love.
My faith had begun to wither through trying times, I must admit,
But with loving parents, great siblings I've learnt to be humble and sometimes submit.
All-in-all I have no regrets, none whatsoever, none at all,
This year the Lord has granted, me has made me RISE, RISE, RISE above it alll.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to one an all,
2010 here we come...we gonna have a ball.
