The celebrations have come and gone and we all now know this new year is upon this world of ours..
Have we sung the song that is so often sung at this time of Year?
Do we know what the words mean?
Well I took a wander round the net to discover what this song is all about..
so I shall share it here with you..
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne ?
- CHORUS:
- For auld lang syne, my dear,
- for auld lang syne,
- we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
- for auld lang syne.
And surely you’ll buy your pint cup !
And surely I’ll buy mine !
And we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
- CHORUS
We two have run about the slopes,
and picked the daisies fine ;
But we’ve wandered many a weary foot,
since auld lang syne.
- CHORUS
We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine† ;
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.
- CHORUS
And there’s a hand my trusty friend !
And give us a hand o’ thine !
And we’ll take a right good-will draught,
for auld lang syne.
- CHORUS

and what does auld lang syne mean in plain English you may ask as I did ?

Tell us that
"auld lang syne" is "times gone by."
So there you go we are thinking of the times gone by as we welcome the new time to come.. Now it makes more sense to me.. where would we be with out the Internet and Google still in the dark ages humming a few bar and wondering what it is all about..
From Me to YOU I wish YOU all the Love Peace and Happiness for now and in this YEAR ahead...
May there be peace on earth and may it begin with YOU..
Looking up and looking back we ponder on what this life is all about...
