Notes About The Poem

This New Year

Is this New Year going to be a continuation of the last;
the one where your wants become the demand of fast?

Is this New Year going to be the one you try something new;
the one where your wants and desires come true?

Is this New Year going to be the year that you reach out your hand;
the one where, because of you, others get what help you can?

Is this New Year going to be a financial change for you;
the one where you count your pennies, and your dollars, too?

Is this New Year going to be the one where your heart beats fast;
the one where you change your bad habits of the past? 

If this is your New Year of changing what is old;
then this is the New Year to try something different, and bold!
