New years



Happy New Years poems are often in the form of a New Years wish. Here’s a general Happy New Year wish poem that can be sent to just about anyone.











Happy New Year To You

Happy New Year to you!
May every great new day
Bring you sweet surprises--
A happiness buffet.
Happy New Year to you,
And when the new year’s done,
May the next year be even better,
Full of pleasure, joy and fun.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


Happy New Year Wish

My Happy New Year wish for you
Is for your best year yet,
A year where life is peaceful,
And what you want, you get.
A year in which you cherish
The past year’s memories,
And live your life each new day,
Full of bright expectancies.
I wish for you a holiday
With happiness galore;
And when it’s done, I wish you
Happy New Year, and many more.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


In The New Year

In the New Year,
we wish you the best year you’ve ever had,
and that each New Year
will be better than the last.
May you realize your fondest dreams
and take time to recognize and enjoy
each and every blessing.
Happy New Year,
And many more!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


People Like You

A brand new year!
A clean slate on which to write
our hopes and dreams.
This year:
Less time and energy on things;
More time and energy on people.
All of life’s best rewards,
deepest and finest feelings,
greatest satisfactions,
come from people--
people like you.
Happy New Year!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


Pieces of Time

New years come and new years go,
Pieces of time all in a row.
As we live our life, each second and minute,
We know we’re privileged to have you in it.
Our appreciation never ends
For our greatest blessings: our family and friends.
Happy New Year!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


New Year’s Reality Check

Another year, another chance
To start our lives anew;
This time we’ll leap old barriers
To have a real breakthrough.
We’ll take one little step
And then we’ll take one more,
Our unlimited potential
We’ll totally explore.
We’ll show off all our talents
Everyone will be inspired;
(Whew! While I’m writing this,
I’m getting very tired.)
We’ll give up all bad habits;
We’ll read and learn a lot,
All our goals will be accomplished,
Sigh...or maybe not.
Oh well, Happy New Year anyway!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


New Year’s Resolutions

Each year I resolve with the strongest intent
To be better this year than the last.
And I work very hard; the rules hardly get bent,
But this discipline gets old so fast!
But with this new year I just know I’ll win out,
Just watch how I do and you’ll see!
I’m not going to have yet another blowout;
I’ll be good as I know I can be.
But, if wicked things beckon, and I’m not so strong,
If I weaken and fall on my ast,
I’ll be thankful again that you’ll help me along
As you have during all new years past.
I’m so grateful that you’re my (title)! Happy New Year!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S TO YOU


A new year is beginning to peak through
softly beautiful and different like new falling snow,
each day unique and shaped just for you.
Your life adding something as each day does grow.
My wish for your new year is beauty
and softness with surprises thrown in for delight.
Love for each day bringing happiness to you,
making your life a scene of sparkle and shining sunlight.
RECIPE FOR A HAPPY 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 up 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 kindness.


Blend with one part prayer, one part meditation,


and one good deed.


Season the whole with a dash of good spirits,


a sprinkle of fun, a pinch of play,


and a cupfull of good humor.
Pour all of this into a vessel of love.


Cook thouroughly over radient joy,


garnish with a smile,


and serve with quietness, unselfishness,


and cheerfulness.


You're bound to have a happy new year.








Let the New Year be...
Let the new year be a year of freedom from sin,
a year of service, a year of trust in God,
and it will be a happy year from first to last.
It may be the hardest year we have known,
but it will be the happiest.









THE YEAR BEGINS....
"The year begins,
and all its pages are as blank
as the silent years of the life of Jesus Christ.
Let us begin it with high resolution;
then let us take all its limitations,
all its hindrances, its disappointments,
its narrow and common-place conditions,
and meet them as the Master did in Nazareth,
with patience, with obedience,
putting ourselves in cheerful subjection,
serving our apprenticeship.
Who knows what opportunity may come to us this year?
Let us live in a great spirit,
then we shall be ready for a great occasion."









A NEW YEAR'S PRAYER
Dear Lord, please give me...
A few friends who understand me,
and yet remain my friends


A work to do which has real value,
without which the world would feel the poorer.
A mind unafraid to travel,
even though the trail be not blazed.
An understanding heart...
A sense of humor.
Time for quiet, silent meditation.
A feeling of the presence of God
And the patience to wait for the coming of these things,
with the wisdom to know them when they come.









ANOTHER NEW YEAR QUOTE
The old year is dead,
the new year is born.
Humbly, fearfully, we sink on our knees,
and slowly, in answer to our prayers,
comes back something of the old faith
of our childhood,
and we rejoice that we are granted
one more New Year's day
on which to "begin again" --
not in our childish way,
with utter disregard of the past,
but trusting, patiently,
knowing that we must ever carry with us our past,
and rejoicing that,
with God's help,
we may make the future better because of the past.
Then, as we rise from our knees,
we look bravely forward to the veiled figure
that stands at our threshold;
we know only that it is God's new year.
May He bless it to us all!








Happy New Year Wish

My Happy New Year wish for you
Is for your best year yet,
A year where life is peaceful,
And what you want, you get.

A year in which you cherish
The past year’s memories,
And live your life each new day,
Full of bright expectancies.

I wish for you a holiday
With happiness galore;
And when it’s done, I wish you
Happy New Year, and many more.
