New Year Wishes Poem
by Angela Lansbury
I hope each New Year brings to you
The season's days of joy and ease
Like happy birds which sing and dance
And bounce each dawn and break the trees
Please, every year when you look back
List all you've done as each year ends
Smile and recall laughter and fun
And family and your ex friends.
Ignore small things missed or done wrong
The childlike adults who rowed and swore
Let's hope next year's a bit better
And naughty friends learned, don't keep doing more.
