New Years
By Jordan Andrews

Happy New years is what we all shout

drinking and partying is what we think it’s all about.

The new years means much more to me as we wait until

as we wait until the stroke of midnight.

As we smell the sweet smell of people whipping the flick of their wrist

As we see the fireworks popping in the air.

We sit back in church thinking about the hard times we had

thinking and remembering the people who fought for our rights

and never gave up as we sit to pray

the only one who made this all happen.

On that day in 1863 the ball dropped my ancestors were set free.
