New Years Quotes and Poems

NEW YEAR CHEER

At the sound of the tolling midnight bell
a brand new year will begin.
Let's raise our hopes in a confidant toast,
to the promise it ushers in.

May your battles be few, your pleasure many,
your wishes and dreams fulfilled.
May your confidence stand in the face of loss
and give you the strength to rebuild.

May peace of heart fill all your days
may serenity grace your soul.
May tranquil moments bless your life
and keep your spirit whole.

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;"  ~Ecclesiastes 3:1-4~

New Year's Day
Last night, while we were fast asleep,
The old year went away.
It can't come back again because
A new one's come to stay.
~ Rachel Field

New Year's Diet

You know I've tried a million times,
I said with much dismay..
the extra pounds just won't come off,
I hate to go and weigh..

But maybe if I tried right now,
since this is New Years Day..
I'll stop some habits that I've formed,
I'll put the sweets away..

I'll hide the chips and dip and stuff,
that make me go astray..
I'll buy rice cakes and celery sticks,
and eat them through the day..

My sandwich will be lettuce filled,
and turkey, not gourmet..
I'll have some tea with sweet and low,
I know this is the way..

If I can do it for a month,
I know I'll be okay..
I couldn't promise all my life,
but know I can... today!

Share your gifts and talents listen with your heart.
Do the things you dream about but don't have time to start.

Pick a bouquet of flowers show someone that you care,
Be gracious and forgiving life is never fair.

Hold on to your courage you may need it down the road,
We all have a cross to bear it could be a heavy load.

If you practice all these things no matter where you roam,
You may find both sun and rain but you'll never feel alone.

Let's Start The New Year Right ~ Irving Berlin

1 minute to midnight, 1 minute to go
1 minute to say good-bye before we say hello

Let's start the new year right, twelve o'clock tonight
When they dim the light, let's begin

Kissing the old year out
Kissing the new year in

Let's watch the old year die with a fond good-bye
And our hopes as high as a kite

How can our love go wrong if
We start the new year right?
