My New Year Wishes

Health’s the most important thing;
As such, it tops my list.
Peace within ourselves and where the
Problems do persist.
Yesterdays preserved and packed, a

Nudge to look ahead.
Endless opportunity, just
Waiting to be fed.

Young or old, no matter, must
Envision and devise
A means for us, this year, to reap the
Riches hope implies.
