Happy New Year!


 

Happy New Year!

Have you made resolutions?

Did they come from your heart?

Will you be able to change?

These are good questions for 2023.

 

2022 has suddenly come to an end.

Old ways have flown out the window.

A new year is filled with promises.

These are for the old and young alike.

 

But what can you reasonably do?

Try to alter the course of your life.

Do those things you know about.

It’s therefore good to mention just a few.

 

Love your neighbor as yourself.

Just don’t say these words.

That means reaching out to everyone -

The neglected and lonely in our midst.

 

Be kind to people you generally meet.

Extend a helping hand to the unfortunate.

So, live a joyful and compassionate life.

Do unto others what you wish for yourself.
