In this new year. . .
comes another
twelve months
of unspoiled pages
in your book of life
so practice what
you learned about
life from the past
twelve months and
know that all that
you seek is hidden
in the upcoming
twelve months that
wait ahead for you
so search it out
with determination.

In this new year. . .
there will be a
bridge upon which
you will stand and
you must know that
only you are in
command and what
you do in these next
twelve months rests
only on you.  

Have the courage to
embrace your dreams,
the strength to sacrifice
for them and the
determination to
fulfill them.

In this new year. . .
choose love and
goodness and mercy
and compassion as well
as strength and courage
along with the deepest
wisdom and the highest
truth.

In this new year. . .
do not worry about
whether the sun will rise
again, just be prepared
to enjoy it.
