I Am the New Year

I AM THE NEW YEAR
     I am unused, unspotted, without blemish,
I stretch before you three hundred
     And sixty-five days long.
I will present each day
     In its turn, a new leaf
In the book of life
     For you to place upon
It your imprint

I AM THE NEW YEAR.
     Each hour of every day, I will
Give you sixty minutes that
     Have never known the use of man.
White and pure I present them;
     It remains for you to fill them
With sixty jeweled seconds of
     Love, hope, endeavor, patience
And trust in God.

I AM THE NEW YEAR.
     I am coming --
But once past, I can
     Never be recalled,
Make me your best!

Psalm 118:24
This is the day that Jehovah hath made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Ephesian 5:15-16
See therefore how ye walk carefully, not as unwise but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
