Happy Happy New Year

To all that is good and holy in the world
To all that is good and holy in each of us
I offer my thanks

To all that is anger and fear in us
and in the world
I try to understand

For all the blessings we each wish
for each other
and for ourselves
I hold hope

For the wonder and blessings
the smiles and laughter
and for the happiness this good year will bring
I stand in joy

For the sadness
and pain
which will surely come
My sympathy

In this new year
and in every year
Love others
Be loved
Love yourself
