"Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to."

Why Wait?


Happy New Year One And All!!!
We've completed 12 months, its been a long haul!!
365 days have flown by........
Filled with Lessons, and Learning, and Ideals gone awry

Babies are still being born every day
While God's love awards peace to lost souls gone astray
Will this new year, bestow on mankind new chance?
Permit dreams and aspirations a splendid advance?

Notions are seen as opaque or concrete,
As this circle of life travels round..... incomplete
As the seasons declare the gift that time gives..
Its a chance for all souls.... to forgive... and let live

The calendar offers.....the convenience of time
To make peace with each other, and forgive our own crimes
That scheduled peace in our hearts, we all crave
Might be missed if we hesitate, and dig our own graves

The moments belong to each being on earth
And was given to us at our moment of birth
So why wait, for a New Year to make changes we need???
We're spirits of Free Will.........part of Gods creed

"Every man should be born again on the first day
of January. Start with a fresh page. Take up one
hole more in the buckle if necessary, or let down
one, according to circumstances; but on the first
of January let every man gird himself once more,
with his face to the front, and take no interest in
the things that were and are past."
     -Henry Ward Beecher
