I Am the New Year

I Am the New Year
 
I am the new year. I am an unspoiled page
in your book of time.
 
I am your next chance at the art of living.
I am your opportunity to practice what you
have learned about life during the last twelve months.
 
All that you sought and didn’t find is hidden in me,
waiting for you to search it out with more determination.
 
All the good that you tried for and didn’t achieve
is mine to grant when you have fewer conflicting desires.
 
All that you dreamed but didn’t dare to do,
all that you hoped but did not will,
all the faith that you claimed but did not have . . .
these slumber lightly, waiting to be awakened
by the touch of a strong purpose.
 
I am your opportunity to renew your allegiance
to Him who said, “behold, I make all things new.”
I am the new year.

A New Year
 
Here’s to the bright New Year
     And a fond farewell to the old;
Here’s to the things that are yet to come
     And to the memories that we hold.

​Another Fresh New Year Is Here
 
Another fresh new year is here . . .
     Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
     To love and laugh and give!
 
This bright new year is given me
     To live each day with zest . . .
To daily grow and try to be
     My highest and my best!
 
I have the opportunity
     Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
     And sing more joyful songs!
 
by William Arthur Ward
 
William Arthur Ward was born on 17 December 1921 in Louisiana, United States of America. He became a Private in the United States Army in 1942 and left the military four years later as a Captain. He then attended McMurry University before eventually receiving a Master’s Degree from Oklahoma State University. William Arthur Ward was the writer of the column “Pertinent Proverbs” in the Fort Worth “Star-Telegram” newspaper, author of the book “Fountains of Faith” (1970), and the writer of more than 100 articles and poems that were published in magazines including “Reader’s Digest,” “The Christian Home,” and “Sunshine.” He was an editor, teacher, public speaker, college administrator, pastor, and served on the board of directors for several nonprofit organizations. He is perhaps best remembered as one of America’s most quoted writers of inspirational maxims. William Arthur Ward passed on at 72 years of age on 30 March 1994.

Recipe for a New Year

Take twelve whole months.
Clean them thoroughly of all bitterness,
hate, and jealousy.
Make them just as fresh and clean as possible.

Now cut each month into twenty-eight,
thirty or thirty-one different parts,
but don’t make the whole batch at once.

Prepare it one day at a time out of these ingredients.

Mix well into each day one part of faith,
one part of patience,
one part of courage,
and one part of work.

Add to each day one part of hope,
faithfulness, generosity, and meditation,
and one good deed.

Season the whole with a dash of good spirits,
a sprinkle of fun, a pinch of play,
and a cupful of good humor.

Pour all of this into a vessel of love.
Cook thoroughly over radiant joy,
garnish with a smile, and serve with quietness, unselfishness,
and cheerfulness.

You’re bound to have a Happy New Year.
