A New Year Wish On this cold and frosty morning A crispness is felt in the clear air With Christmas now a memory We look forward to the New Year Many events happened in 2005 Some were good some were bad Hurricanes raked the Gulf Coast It was the worst season they had Both of my knees were replaced All of the PT is done and through Although they are still a little stiff I guess it must be they are new A tragedy beset us in this year My little buddy was called away It is with reverence I think of her She spends time with God today May your year have been good Even better in the coming Year With all your hopes and wishes For the future all come to bear Acie Workman Eden Park   A New Beginning Another year has come and gone, And what do I have to show? I pause to reflect and wonder— “Oh where does the fleeting time go?” The passing years are now history, I cannot recapture those days. Do I dwell on the past—or the future? Is my life but an obscure haze? The years roll by—one by one, A time I can ne’er reclaim. God has given me abundant talents Which glorify and exalt His name. Have I done my very best, I muse, Shown charity toward my fellow man; Have I used these God-given talents To do the best that I can? “Do unto others,” says the Golden Rule, “As you’d have them do unto you.” A simple rule to live by… Day by day…the whole year through.                                   Charles Clevenger New Boston, Ohio           The Year of 2006 A new year with new hopes and dreams, This can be the time of planning the new, To paint the rooms in soft warm colors, And curtains to match the rugs of blue. The sewing room is full of new material, Leaving the work to the light of the moon, There should be plenty of new big pillows, To give the new look to the old bedroom. Most of the clothes should be given away, To those that are in special care of others, Its time for the older dresses so special, They can be worn in warm of the seasons. The spring is planned in the wintertime, How many new plants that is so dear, In March the forsythia bush will be yellow, It is the beginning of a brand new year. The white paint will brighten the front porch, That needed the paint so many years ago, We can enjoy the time of work and the paint, In the year of 2006 in Gods time that we know.
