The earth turns and a new day begins
and tonight it brings a new year
just another orbit around the sun
yet, a symbol of renewal
a chance to start again
resolve to be different, do better
as a person, as a community, as a world.
Let us open our hearts and minds to peace
Let us learn that violence and hate only beget violence and hate
Let us choose our words carefully, and our deeds even more so
Let us start with our our family, friends and coworkers
Let us allow the ripple to expand beyond us.
With love, with laughter,
with restraint and understanding,
we can change this, the only world we have.
