THE NEW YEAR
The Christmas cheer is memory now
The trees and tinsels put away,
While whistles blow and bells ring out
A brand new year is born today!
This New Year brings a special gift
Of time and energy and worth,
Not just to high-born, rich or great,
But to each person on this earth!
In time, men have equality
The same amount each hour and minute,
But worth is varying, determined by
How much of effort they put in it!
Nineteen- seventy-seven! a partnership!
A gift from God and tool for man
To use, as trust, in working through
Each day, according to His plan!
