NEW BEGINNINGS
This year, this month, this day,
in fact, this hour, present to each
of us...new beginnings.
This day we may...
Give up harmful habits
For new directions
Give up fears and failures
For quiet courage and simple success
Give up tired arguments
For empathetic listening
Give up sin
For the refreshing spirit
Give up torn wine skins
For new garments
Give up old endings
For new beginnings
