~* My New Year Prayer *~
The time has come to say good bye
A year of happiness and of sorrow
I pray the war will end soon
So we’ll have a better tomorrow.
A year of happiness for all
When friends can get together
The blessings of a family
That will be togather forever.
For those that have lost near ones
My sympathy, I send your way
And hope that prayer and the help of God
Will get help you through each day.
For those who have brought new life in the world
Congratulations to you
Thank the Lord in Heaven above
For making your dreams come true.
For those that are sick, in so much pain
May God Bless your health today
Ease your burden and give you peace
Help you in every way.
May His grace shine down upon you
As we start a brand New Year
Praying the New year brings to you
Much happiness and cheer

~* The Garden Year *~
January brings the snow,
Makes our feet and fingers glow.
February brings the rain,
Thaws the frozen lake again.
March brings breezes, loud and shrill,
To stir the dancing daffodil.
April brings the primrose sweet,
Scatters daisies at our feet.
May brings flocks of pretty lambs
Skipping by their fleecy dams.
June brings tulips, lilies, roses,
Fills the children’s hands with posies.
July brings cooling showers,
Apricots, and gillyflowers.
August brings the sheaves of corn,
Then the harvest home is borne.
September Warm brings the fruit;
Sportsmen then begin to shoot.
October Fresh brings the pheasant;
Then to gather nuts is pleasant.
November Dull brings the blast;
Then the leaves are whirling fast.
December Chill brings the sleet,
Blazing fire, and Christmas treat.

~* New Year wish for You *~
Happy New Year wish for you
Is for your best year yet,
A year where life is peaceful,
And what you want, you get.
A year in which you cherish
The past year’s memories,
And live your life each new day,
Full of bright expectancies.
I wish for you a holiday
With happiness galore;
And when it’s done, we wish you
Happy New Year, and many more.

~* Say Goodbye to the Old 2011 *~
While ringing in the new year
say goodbye to the old
Holding on to the memories
worth more to us than gold
The past we’ll leave behind
and welcome in the new
May this brand new year
be the greatest one for you
Happy New Year!!
~* Christmas Bells *~
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Till, ringing, singing on its way
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime,
A chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Then from each black, accursed mouth
The cannon thundered in the South,
And with the sound
The Carols drowned
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And in despair I bowed my head;
‘There is no peace on earth,’ I said;
‘For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!’
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
‘God is not dead; nor doth he sleep!
The Wrong shall fail,
The Right prevail,
With peace on earth, good-will to men!’
