I’m writing this in a state of shock, Watching the clock—tick tock, tick tock, Advancing, approaching, relentlessly, A brand new year; Oh, can it be? The calendar says the same thing, too; Time races, vanishes for me; Boo hoo! No, wait! If time flies, I’m having fun! A year of fun! It’s gone! It’s done! I now embrace the blur …

Here’s to the year that’s almost past its expiration date—(say old year, such as “2012”). We all had some surprises, didn’t we? Some good, some distressing. Let’s use everything we got from our experiences, everything we learned, to enrich the new year. Here’s to the new year, (say new year, such as “2013”), a gift we haven’t opened yet. May …

Three little kittens, They lost their mittens, And they began to cry, Oh, mother dear, We sadly fear Our mittens we have lost. What! Lost your mittens, You naughty kittens! Then you shall have no pie. Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow. You shall have no pie. The three little kittens, They found their mittens, And they began to cry, Oh, mother …

My love is like to ice, and I to fire: How comes it then that this her cold so great Is not dissolved through my so hot desire, But harder grows the more I her entreat? Or how comes it that my exceeding heat Is not allayed by her heart-frozen cold, But that I burn much more in boiling sweat, …

Out of the night that covers me,       Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be       For my unconquerable soul.   In the fell clutch of circumstance       I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance       My head is bloody, but unbowed.   Beyond this place of wrath and tears       Looms but …

She never got to dance, Or go to her own Prom. She never got the chance, To forget where she came from. She never got to kiss, A man she idolized. She never felt love’s bliss, ‘Cause she was paralyzed. She never got to talk, About love with a smile. She never got to walk, Down a Church’s Aisle. She …

Dear Lord, In the new year, we pray that You will guide us each new day in paths that are pleasing to You. Lord, the new year gives us another chance to rededicate our lives to You, to study Your Word so that we know right from wrong and to act in accordance with Your commands. Thank You for the …

Friends we are, forever friends we’ll be, Wherever we are, you’re right beside me. I hope we stay friends ’til the end of time, And whenever that is, our friendship will still shine. You mean the world to me, I hope the same with you, You’re always helping me, whatever it takes you’ll do. Now that we’re growing older, changing …
