A Very Merry New Year

A very merry new year to all of you
  May happiness reign, delight increase
May rank strife and division at once cease
  May you give and receive credit where credit is due

A healthy and prosperous new year to all of you
  May your body respond well to life's curve balls
May your bank account grow in the short and long haul
  May your face glow with the brightest of hues

A spiritually uplifting new year to all of you
  May your journey take you to calm inner peace
May irritation and anxiety steadily decrease 
  May you overcome obstacles, achieve a breakthrough

A year of poetic inspiration to all of you
  May your Muse burn bright throughout the year
May your words stream and flow in verse crystal-clear
  May all your efforts be rewarded with glorious good cheer

~ To everyone on Poetry Soup, a very Happy New Year! ~
