These Are My JOTtings...

Happy New Year, 2017!

Happy New Year, Everyone!

So happy is the calendar
to give the number new,
In that our hearts new Hope would stir
for All, Yes, me and you!

The lights have come and gone this night,
the rain doth trickle down,
Now, when we wake in sun so bright,
we'll know the new year's crown.

We wonder what the new year holds,
Will new success we find?
Will days be great as all unfolds
with humans newly kind?

Expect we bliss and more we'll see
for mind is drawn by heart,
Believing good may truly be
the greatest place to start.
