by Phyllis C. Michael
Another new year--what shall I make of it?
God gave it to me as a loan
Shall I search for earth's cheer with
Its pretense and take it--
Not bread for my soul but a stone?
Another new year--what shall I gather,
Earth's tinsel, her glitter to show/
Another new year--what would I rather,
A flash or a deep inner glow?
A year full of getting or a year full of giving
The best that I have to give?
A year full of fretting or a year full of living
The way that God wants me to live?
Another new year--what shall I make of it?
God gave me the right to choose.
Another new year--God helping, I'll take it
And give it to him to use.
