Every Day's A New Year!

HAP-PEE NYEW YEEEER Say we to thee!

With smiles and warm wishes so sincere
Comes hope for a super and prosprous new year.

Then the obligatory “we resolve” to do this
And of course the promise NOT to do that

We fear not the eventual slack of our will
For the next new year (or the next or the next)
Brings new chance to fulfill.

Better to see each and ev’ry new day
As a time to re-try without delay
To remake ourselves as we’d like to be--
Each sunrise an anniversary!

So I’ll say “Happy New Year”
With heartfelt intent
But mean it as if t'were daily sent!

Happy MOO year! RFD 1/1/05
