A few years ago, a very good friend of mine made me a DVD as a Christmas present with pictures of us and our group of friends over the past few months. She also added in videos of us doing silly things and set it all to the songs Time of Your Life by Green Day and Photograph by Nickelback. This reminds me of Auld Lang Syne by Robet Burns as both capture the remembrance of past times and friendships. "Auld lang syne" itself means 'times gone by', and Burns' words "And there's a hand, my trusty fiere, and gie's a hand o' thine" is meaning 'and there is a hand, my trusty friend, and give us a hand of yours'. I really like the meaning in these two quotes and in the whole poem, which is often played at New Year's, because, although times have passed you and things may have changed, there's always that trusted friend to count on, the one who you would help with anything, and, in return, would lend a hand to you, no matter what!
