Each year should be the best year we have yet lived.
Each year we are more learned in the ways of life.
Each year we are wiser than the year before.
Each year our eyes know the better sights to seek.
each year our ears listen with a finer tuning.
Every happening is a jewel, wrought about the fancy of time.
All the we understand of the universe is the setting for each
sight and sound of day.
The child looks with gladness each year to be one year older.
should not this welcome pursue us all years?
The piling of the years is a richness like the piling of gold.
Our years are coins with which we can purchase more wisely at
The bazaars of each new season.
Our love is more pliant and patient having been taught by time.
This New Year is one year older than the last.
The earth is more abounding in its growth.
The creatures have moved another step in their unfolding.
Humankind has left us one more year of art for out
Contemplation.
History is one year more resonant with lessons.
The sunrises are one year more familiar and promising.
The sunsets are one year less fearful, and the peace of night
Is one year closer.
