I am the New Year

I AM THE NEW YEAR

I am unused, unspotted, without blemish,

I stretch before you three hundred And sixty-five days long.

I will present each day

In its turn, a new leaf

In the book of life

For you to place upon

It your imprint

I AM THE NEW YEAR.

Each hour of every day,

I willGive you sixty minutes that

Have never known the use of man.

White and pure I present them;

It remains for you to fill them

With sixty jeweled seconds of Love, hope, endeavor, patience

And trust in God.

I AM THE NEW YEAR.

I am coming -- But once past, I can Never be recalled,

Make me your best!
