THE NEW YEAR A time for the new year, to ponder, reflect On the tasks of last year did I bear some neglect?
Were my floors cleaned and scrubbed On which a diner could sup? Did my life take direction, Was it down, was it up?
Can I look back and smile, Feel I learned from the past? Were the lessons I learned The type that will last?
Did I give of myself without being asked, For no personal gain, just rewards in my heart? With those whom I met, did my soul see their needs? Was I selfish or giving, could a true friendship start?
Could they see I meant best, did my close family know That their growth and their acmes set my heart all aglow.
And when looking within at the mirror on the wall, Can my soul still stand proud, Did I give it my all?
