To
leave the old with a burst of song
To recall the right and forgive the
wrong
To forgive the thing that binds 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 to 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!
