The falling snowflakes, the warm embers,
These gifts of a white messenger,
See: how all these, wish you, like I do:
The happiest ever New Year to You!
Looking at myself in the tarnished mirror,
I am often forced to pause and ponder,
At the reflections of my unending dreams,
Where you reign over my heart as its queen.
