Poem from a friend:
"Another fresh new year is here
Another year to live! To banish worry, doubt, and fear.
To love and laugh and give! This bright new year is given me.
To live each day with zest.
To daily grow and try to be my best.
I have the opportunity once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree, and sing more joyful songs!”
