A New Year Resolve
A year has passed,
What we have done
In the year that passed
Cannot be undone.
Let us make a vow
At this new dawn, now
To spend more of our time,
Money and skills for others,
Who are in need of such
Time, money and skills,
Than we did, everyday
In the year just gone by.
For, Lord said,
'Thou shalt love
thy neighbour
as thyself.'
Let us make a pledge
To make a small, but
Positive difference
In at least one life.
For, every life matters,
Every smile matters,
Every life is precious
For Him!
This proposal for New Year Resolution still holds good. "Let's make a difference/albeit minutest/at least in one life"
