Ring In New Bells To the New Sky-W

Each year is born like the bright berry from naked thorn Take steps back, assess the old, be grateful to new morn He who breaks a resolution is weak, who makes is a fool We have one life to live, life not a dress rehearsal after all. Year’s end is neither an end nor beginning, but a going on Of the wisdom and experience can instill us of years bygone Bring no tear to any eye, harm not any heart, be at His call We have one life to live, life not a dress rehearsal after all. Banish worry, doubt, fear and live, love, be loved and laugh Laugh with the light and weep not in the night that is enough. Woo, wed, right the wrongs, take to wings, software reinstall. We have one life to live, life not a dress rehearsal after all. Ring in true, ring out the false, ring in new, ring out wild Let it be said you have played well, lived, loved, labored The year is going, you no power to stop, be a happy soul We have one life to live, life not a dress rehearsal after all ===================================== Third place winner in: Contest: New year resolutions sponsored by Carolyn Devonshire
