Setting Goals For Twenty-Fifteen
In Times Square, soon we'll observe a departing,
With a huge Crystal ball's culminating descent.
Millions will celebrate the New Year's starting,
While exiling, to our past, the one just spent.
With former things occupying our year departed,
Whether good, bad, of found settled in between.
They're gone, and future days, remain uncharted,
Let's endeavor to elevate beyond twenty-fourteen.
Make each day count, for something worthwhile,
Greater than observing the Sun's rising and set.
While the world about us is increasingly more vile,
Let this not determine us, adding to us, regret.
For God numbers days and discerns life's ending,
This year, let's not fill days, with wrong things.
While showing love to others, not condescending,
For judgment awaits when our death bell rings.
nHappy New Year 2015
