What's Your Word

What's your word for the new year?
   Will you use it to set your direction? 

Will it get you out of your comfort zone?
   Could it become your personal capstone?

Will it challenge you in a multiplicity of ways
   Will it spur you to new heights every day?

Will you treasure it both at work and at play?
   Or will you write it down and then throw it away?

What's your word for the new year?
   Will it have changed your life in retrospection?
