I Am The New Year 2010!

I stretch unused, unspotted, without blemish.

I stretch before you three hundred sixty-five days long.

I will present each day in its turn, a new leaf in the

Book of Life, for you to place upon it your imprint.

It remains for you to make of me what you will;

if you write with integrity & honest firm steady strokes,

my pages will be a joy to look upon when the next New Year comes.

If the pen falters & is overcome by hate, uncertainty, doubt

or if transgressions should mar the page, it will become an unfortunate day,

that will be remembered with pain & regret...



I am the New Year;

During each hour of three hundred sixty-five days,

I will give you 60 minutes, white and pure,

that have never before known, the use of man.

I present thee...

It remains for you to fill them with sixty jeweled seconds of

Hope for Peace, Love, Patience, Fruitful Endeavor,

And trust in God.

I am the New Year: I am here - but once past,

I can never to be recalled.

Make me your best.
