The old year fades to history
In celebration tinged with sorrow
No longer holding influence
On what the future holds tomorrow
Now we need new trials and tasks
Demanding valued guarantees
To leave behind those fading days
Which brought that old year to its knees
Looking forward to some better times
On springtime sunny avenues
Where potential waits for open eyes
Not drowning in the blues
When making resolutions new
Choose what most likely will prevail
No touching wood with fingers crossed
Lack of earnestness will fail
"One of the saddest tendencies in our present culture is an indignant intolerance for the basic humanity of being human"
