On the Dawn of a New Year
The passage of time records
The things we have achieved, the milestones we have crossed.
The time to come heralds
The things we can yet achieve, the milestones we have yet to cross.
The past is a collage
Of moments in a lifetime, of people and places that have been
The future is a canvas
On which we get to create moments, people and places that can be.
The year gone by
Is a storehouse of memories, a cellar full of nostalgia.
The year to come
Is a receptacle for effort, a playground of anticipation
So, while - on a day like this - you might look back at what has been
Take time, also, to look ahead at what has yet to be
...Of the person you CAN become
...Of the things you CAN do
...Of the places you CAN visit
Of a life that you CAN create
