A New Beginning

To leave the old with a burst of song,

To recall the right and forgive the wrong,

To forget all things that bind you fast,

To the vain regrets of the year that's past.

To have the strength to let go your hold

Of the not worthwhile of the days grown old,

To dare go forth with a purpose true,

To the unknown task of the year that's new.

To help your brother along the road,

To do his work, and lift his load,

To add your gift to the World's good cheer,

Is to have, and to give - a Happy New Year!

- Agnes Foth

May I better live the words above.

Forgive, press forward and serve with love.
Happy New year!
