New Years day is the time we make Resolutions for the coming new year. Sometimes we don't keep them But sometimes we hold them dear. We normally try to change the things We don't like about ourselves. But sometimes we vow to do a chore Like painting an old set of shelves. This year I think I'll be different Think I'll try a different style. I'll find what makes people happy Some things that make people smile. On these things I will concentrate And I'll do them more every day. Maybe I'll make others happy And help to bring sunshine their way. More often, I'll say please and thank you And I'll try to be more patient too. I'll try to be kind and forgiving The way Jesus taught us to do. I'll tell my family I love them And how much they all mean to me. I'll tell everyone about Jesus And how His love set us all free. Have The Happiest New Year Ever! By R.R.L. December 28, 2000
