Clock is winding down now
We see the past go by
Thoughts and life's reflections
With a very saddened sigh

Past year filled with sorrow
Our hope that new will show
Peace and life with kindness
Within each heart will flow

Clock of life keeps moving
Minutes go by so fast
Hope for a bright tomorrow
We pray for peace at last

Love that has been written
In words we say sincere
Brought with an understanding
That hope is always near

May each of us be smitten
With love that reaches far
Hear the bells are ringing
Peace be where you are

Love through understanding
With each of us a start
Joined in a new beginning
With each and every heart.
