  1. Happy New Year
    Poet: B. R. Clement


    Happy New Year to you
    We wish you success in all you do
    Filled with optimism and good cheer
    Remember we love you oh so dear.

    Let the year come one day at a time
    Make sure you allow for some downtime
    Do not worry about what is to come
    Just do your best and it will be awesome.



  2. The poem, A New Year Born, reflects on the New Year's journey, suggesting a mission to traverse the world, leaving no spot untouched. It concludes by acknowledging that the New Year neither claims nor carries the burdens of sorrow or joy, leaving such matters in the hands of God.

  3. A New Year Born
    Poet: Mrs. C. K. Smith


    The time has come the Orient light
    Of New Year's dawn is here!
    Aurora bursts the gates of night,
    And lo! a new born year!

    How softly comes his gentle tread,
    As if 'twere Reason's child,
    And knew the Older Year was dead
    In Time's huge volume filed.

    His bearing is the most discreet,
    His breath is like the rose;
    No snowy sandals on his feet,
    No pendants from his nose.

    The icicles he leaves behind,
    Old Boreas disdains;
    To rob the North he's disinclined;
    To suit the West he aims.

    He aims to suit our Western clime,
    Where loveliest flowers bloom,
    Where yellower than a golden mine
    The orange is at home.

    Last year he paid a visit here
    And learned what we'd accept;
    For other lands, with colder cheer
    His frosty jewels kept.

    With open hand he warmly greets
    The dwellers near our bay;
    He smiles on every one he meets,
    Then hurries on his way.

    For round the world his mission is,
    To leave no spot untrod;
    Not sorrow, weal or woe are his
    All these he leaves with God.

    A brand new year is drawing near
    With resolutions big and small
    We'll try to stick to them, but we may fall

    The countdown starts, the ball will drop

    Joys to wish you, without measure,
    Happiness and peace attending,
    With pure heavenly blessings blending.



  7. New Start
    Poet: C. A. Lynch


    We stop and countdown the beginning of the year
    We spend it with family and friends who are dear
    We reflect upon the year that has gone by
    We have had times of laughter and times we have cried.

    But while we look back we look ahead
    We are full of optimism not of dread
    No matter what has happened in the past
    It does not mean it has to last.

    Each New Year we get to start again
    Surround by family and friends
    We move forward with a thankful heart
    That we get this brand new start.

  9. Believe
    Poet: Julie Hebert


    The days seem to start again,
    Yet nothing seems to have changed.
    We continue on with our lives much the same,
    Checking off our lists and getting things arranged.

    But then the countdown does begin
    To a New Year; we set our resolutions
    We celebrate and do bring in
    A new year for our contributions.

    We can reflect and choose
    New goals to achieve
    As long as we try we no longer loose
    We need to do our best and believe!



  10. A New Year Is Here
    Poet: C. A. Lynch


    As January dawns, a new year is here,
    Inviting us to embrace it with cheer.
    A chance to start anew, to learn and grow,
    Setting goals that make our spirits glow.

    Through kind intentions and efforts calm,
    Let's strive for progress, extending a warm palm.
    May this fresh beginning bring joy untold,
    May our goals be attainable and bold.

    The New Year brings to all.

    For God leads me into tomorrow.

  24. The Resolution Dance
    Poet: C. A. Lynch


    I’ll wake at dawn and jog each day,
    (Or maybe sleep, just one more way!)
    I’ll quit the sweets, I’ll eat so clean,
    Until that cookie calls to me.

    The gym will see my face, I swear,
    But first, I’ll need a comfy chair.
    Resolutions come, then slip and slide,
    Yet laughter’s here as time rolls by!
