The promise of hope

Bezza and me, the sea and the sun
looking out to horizon as noontide is done
synonymous here of the New Year begun
The promise of hope, it is here

The sea all a-silver, precious and new
captured as both of us take in the view
and embrace a bright future bequeathed to the few
The promise of hope, it is here

It's a picture of promise this New Year we hold
as we face the new future steadfast and bold
and know in our hearts of the message that's told
The promise of hope, it is here
