What you do on New Year’s Day
You’ll be doing all year long.
If that’s the case, then I must say,
I’ll certainly be healthy and strong.

I woke up early with energy
Couldn’t wait to get a start,
Didn’t know what was driving me,
But such energy, I could not thwart.

So, I started out with coffee
In a small cup, nice and hot,
Then, fixed a quick breakfast
Loaded with calories…not!

Next, I started cleaning
Since everything was upside down.
Oh how wonderful to have meaning
And people to love around.

If this is any indication
Of what my new year will be
Then welcome friends and family
To a happy new year with me!

Since, all we can really hope for,
In this hectic, tragic world,
Is sound health and vitality
To complete the work God has unfurled.

Commit your work to the Lord, and then your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:3
