MEANINGFUL RESOLUTIONS

To leave the old with a burst of song;
To recall the right and forgive the wrong;


To forget the things that bind you fast
To the vain regrets of the year that’s past;


To have the strength to let go your hold
Of the not worthwhile of the days grown old;


To dare go forth with a purpose true,
To the unknown task of the year that’s new;


To help your brother along the road,
To do his work and lift his load;


To add your gift to the world’s good cheer,
Is to have and to give a Happy New Year.
