Auld Lang Syne

What have we wrought? A year gone. Change that can only be measured by the
future. Many losses. When all is said and done all that we have here on Earth are those around us. In that and our memories is solace. 

At the end of our lives, all we have is Christ. In both circumstances, both here and there, those are enough. With that...

Should auld acquaintance be forgot 
And never brought to mind? 
Should auld acquaintance be forgot 
And days of auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear 
For auld lang syne 
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet 
For days of auld lang syne

We twa hae run about the braes 
And pu'd the gowans fine 
But we've wander'd mony a weary fit 
Sin days of auld lang syne 

We twa hae paidl'd i' the burn 
Frae morning sun till dine 
But seas between us braid hae roar'd 
Sin days of auld lang syne 

For auld lang syne, my dear 
For auld lang syne 
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet 
For days of auld lang syne 

And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp 
And surely I'll be mine 
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet 
For auld lang syne 

And there's a hand, my trusty fiere 
And gie's a hand o' thine 
And we'll tak a right gude-willy waught 
For auld lang syne 

For auld lang syne, my dear 
For auld lang syne 
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet 
For auld lang syne 

For auld lang syne, my dear 
For auld lang syne 
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet 
For auld lang syne
