The long awaited 2000 is here
Let's greet the new without fear.
Take time for a little fun
And "smell the roses" in 2001
May my complaints be few
In the year of 2002
As I walk the pathway of 2003
My spirit is free but I need a new knee.
Fret less and trust more
In the year of 2004
Keep Hope alive
In the year 2005
As Hope remains fixed
Walk by faith in 2006
With renewed Hope
We welcome 2007
.Encourage your mate
Every day of 2008

We now enter a new year. . . I always look forward to that "new page" in life.
A New Leaf
He came to my desk with a quivering lip.
The lesson was done.
"Dear teacher, I want a new page," he said,
I have spoiled this one."
I took the old page, torn and blotted,
And gave him a new one, all unspotted,
And into his sad eyes smiled:
"Do better now, my child."
I came to God's throne with a trembling heart.
The year's work was done.
"Dear Father, I want a new life," I said,
"I have spoiled this one."
He took my old life, torn and blotted,
And gave me a new one, all unspotted;
And into my sad heart smiled:
"Do better now, my child."

I chose a banner with a clock as a reminder of how important time is. Especially to me, as I am aware that my candle is beginning to flicker. . . Here are some thoughts to begin the New Year right on time. . .
For many years I started the year with a rhyming two liner. And this morning I was reminded of this when a friend, Mildred, asked what my rhyme was for this year. She gave this one:
"Thank God for plenty in 2020"
I thought about it (realizing 20 doesn't have as many word options) but came up with this:
"Thankful for every penny in 2020"
I decided to go back to the year 2000 and share a few. . .
I will share a few, starting with 2000
The long awaited 2000 is here
Let's greet the new without fear.
Take time for a little fun
And "smell the roses" in 2001
May my complaints be few
In the year of 2002
As I walk the pathway of 2003
My spirit is free but I need a new knee.
We welcome 2007
