Happy New Year

to you all. To you all I dedicate this beautiful poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox written 1892, such a long time ago but beutiful words are immortal and are everlasting.

NEW YEAR

I look straight in your eyes,Our ways and our interests blend,You may be a foe in disguiseBut I shall believe you a friend.

We get what we give in our measure,We cannot give pain and get pleasure,I give you good will and good cheerAnd you must return it, New Year.

We get what we give in this life,Though often the giver indeed Waits long upon doubting and strifeEre proving the truth of my Creed.

But somewhere, someway, and foreverReward is the meed of endeavor -And if I am really worth while,New year, you will give me your smile.

You hide in your mystical handNo "luck" that I cannot control,If I trust my own courage and standOn the infinite strength of my soul.

Man holds in his brain and his spiritA power that is God-like, or near it,And he who has measured his forceCan govern events and their course.

You come with a crown on your brow,New Year, without blemish or spot.Yet you, and not I, sir, must bow,For time is the servant of thought.

Whatever you bring me of troubleShall turn into good and then double.If my spirit looks up without fearTo the Source that you came from, New Year.
