God grant us this year a wider view
So we see others faults through the eyes of You-
Teach us to judge not with hasty tongue,
Neither the Adult...nor the Young
Give us patience and grace to endure.
And a stronger faith so we fell secure
And instead of remembering, help us forget
The irritations that caused us to fret
Freely forgiving for some offer
And finding each day a rich recompense
In offering a friendly helping hand
And trying in all ways to understand
That all of us whoever we are
Are trying to reach "an unreachable star"-
For the Great and Small...the Good and Bad,
The Young and Old...the Sad and Glad
Are asking today "Is Life Worth Living"
And the answer is only in Loving and Giving
For only Love can make men kind
And kindness of Heart brings Peace of Mind
And by giving Love, we can start this year
To Lift the clouds of Hate and Fear.
