I resolve to be kinder in the New Year,
And to be impolite and vexed less,
To not give in to my despair and fear,
But try to cultivate more hopefulness.
I resolve to help more those in need,
And lend more a helping hand,
To curb my own selfishness and greed,
And vow the needs of others understand.
I resolve to be less obstinate if I can,
And try to see the other person's side,
To be more positive about what I plan,
And in faith, hope, and love abide.
New Year's Come And Go
New Year's come and go,
And I grow older each year,
And not much wiser I fear,
Wonder what I'm doing here,
Sometimes I don't know.
When I was a little child,
Each new year seemed bright,
Auspicious as the golden sunlight,
Or the stars gleaming at night,
But now in sadness I'm oft exiled.
So much has come and gone,
New Year's don't seem so new,
Old memories often make me blue,
And I miss departed loved ones too,
But I guess I will have to go on.
Ring The New Year In
Ring the new year in,
Let us rejoice and sing,
And be happy once again,
Who knows what it may bring.
Thus as the old year passes away,
Ring the new year in with song,
For the old year could not stay,
The new year has come along.
So here's to the new year,
May it be happy and bright,
We welcome it with good cheer,
On the very stroke of midnight.
New Year Hope
Hope for world peace without fail,
Hope for cruelty and poverty to end,
Hope for brotherly love to prevail,
Hope for differences to mend;
Hope for kindness to spread,
Hope for suffering to cease,
Hope all the hungry are fed,
Hope all nations will be at peace;
Hope goodness will evil overcome,
Hope universal love will succeed,
Hope prosperity is not just for some,
Hope for end to intolerance and greed.
