What to write on New Years Day
What to write on New Year's Day,
That is better than OK,
That will make someone's day,
And convince them to above ground stay,
When they are are convinced they hold no sway,
No matter what they do or say,
On any given day.
I turned 71 today,
And feel the need to put wisdom on display,
To bring hope your way,
And remind others of the influence they bring into play,
On any given day.
Just by being alive today,
The opportunity can come our way,
To influence the behavior of others in some way,
That will give us another way,
To look at how to hold sway,
On any given day.
So, before you decide to to give the game and the day away,
Think on what I have written this day,
With 71 years life experience to bring into play,
To show you the way,
Before 2026 comes in to play,
To hold sway,
On any given day.
