A New Year, soon we'll spend, Because this one will end. Christmas will leave with cheer- Direct us to next year; Engaging us to then Find ways to start again. Get fresh, blank pages to Have time to regroup, do Ideal plans on hold- Just could not start- unfold. Kindled days reborn, Leave past excuses torn. Make way for fresher thought- New outcomes to be sought Offering great ways- Pursuing fuller days. Questions- no or yes Resolves what to address. Solve errors from the past; Turn to outcomes that last. Undo what makes us sad- Voice those that make us glad. With future choices made, X-out the ones that fade. Yes! New Year's plans will give Zest-filled days to live.
