The best New Year Resolution

Out with the old
And in with the new
Making resolutions
For a happier YOU

The old year is over
It’s time to move on
Time for new beginnings
Let by gones be gone

Don’t cling to mistakes
That you made in your past
Start over fresh and
Make memories to last

Spend time with the family
The kids, your husband or wife
Strive for the things
Most important in life

Not for money or fame
For that fire will burn out
Seeking fame or fortune
Is not what its all about

It’s about you and
The choices you’ll make
Before doing something dumb
You’ll calculate the stakes

Its about being kind to your
Neighbor, the one you don’t know
Making a difference in society
By the kindness that you show

Its about spending time with God
Cuz without HIM life won’t work
Separation from God is where
All life’s devastation does lurk

It’s about lending a hand
To someone in need
Instead of turning your head,
Walking away, harboring greed

The world teaches “YOU” first
Others can wait
When it comes to this philosophy
How do you rate?

Do you take the time
To show others you care
If a friend calls you up
We’ll you always be there

Or find yourself saying
I don’t have the time
If I take time for you
Then I’ll get behind

I’m sure someone can help you
But today it cant be me
Call back tomorrow
Maybe then I will be free

So before you start your NEW YEAR
Take some time to think
Because once again
It’ll be over in just a blink

You can make a difference
In the life of someone
Throughout this new year
That has barely just begun

Don’t be afraid
To reach out your hand
People who care is such
A great demand

So out with the old
And in with the new
It’s really a simple decision
And it starts with you!
